one a salad spinner is to dry the vegatables after you rinse them. you toss the salad with tongs to mix them all up. and to insure that your salad is well mixed and flavor is even throughout.

The spinner is best for WASHING & DRYING the greens. Wash the greens first in the inner basket (placed in the sink), then put the basket in the spinner and spin several times. You want as much moisture removed as possible, or the dressing doesn't coat the greens properly. Transfer the dried greens to a salad bowl.
Tongs are good for TOSSING after the dressing has been added. I sometimes use salad servers (the big spoon and fork), but ordinary tongs do a better job at tossing.

Tongs. A salad spinner is to get the water off the lettuce, etc., after you rinse it.

I always thought a salad spinner was just to dry freshly rinsed lettuce. I would use tongs, especially when you have company; it just looks more classy.

It all depends on who's doing the tossing...if it's you then toss your salad however you like.

I just open the bag and pore it in a bowl. Are you people telling me that someone actually tosses this stuff before I buy it.
