Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only an estimate and can vary based on the products used.
- For a great crunchy maroulosalata, the lettuce must be well-dried.
- You can cut the lettuce ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours.
- The salad should be consumed immediately after you dress it; otherwise, the lettuce will soften.
- If you prefer a lemon dressing, replace the vinegar with lemon.
