Notes
- Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving. This helps keep the lettuce crisp and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Make the dressing up to a few days ahead for even better flavor. Just give it a good shake before serving, as some natural separation may occur in the refrigerator.
- For the best texture, use fresh iceberg lettuce. Its crisp, crunchy leaves hold up well to the toppings and dressing.
