Notes
- Nutritional information includes dressing.
- For added protein and flavor, top the salad with cheese. Some of my favorite include cheddar, feta, or goat.
- Don’t be afraid to make your own homemade dressing. They are so delicious and fresh without the typical additives.
- Store leftover salad separate from dressing if you're keeping for later use. The salad will keep in the fridge without dressing for 2-3 days. Store the leftover dressing for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- To store only the lettuce, a salad spinner container works fantastic. Alternatively, store your clean, dry salad in an airtight plastic container lined with paper towel. The paper towel will absorb any excess water, and the airtight container will keep the salad from wilting.
