Notes
- Dry lettuce will help prevent wilting. Wash the leaves but then use a spinner to get rid of as much moisture as you can.
- My champagne vinaigrette is perfect for this dish, but feel free to experiment! Try it with my Apple Cider Vinegar Salad Dressing, White Wine Vinaigrette or Easy Herb Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe.
- This salad is perfect to make ahead of time. You can make the salad in the bowl and cover in with plastic wrap up to 48 hours ahead.
