- Adjust the amount of vinaigrette to suit your taste preference for dressing.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- This salad can be prepared ahead but add vinaigrette just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
- Pair with crusty bread or make it low-carb by serving as is.
