How to cook a salad fast?

I've never looked it up but I would definitely agree you will get faster with time and check youtube or simply use Google for chopping techniques. Make sure your finger tips are pointed towards you and not the knife. Go to the store and find some cheap produce to practice with. I think your best bet is practice and videos that show you, can't really explain the process over the net to make it make sense as I am a hands on person.
