Notes
- When looking for lettuce, choose a head of iceberg that feels heavy for its size with tightly packed leaves. Try not to get a head with wilted or loose leaves.
- Chill the lettuce for at least an hour before slicing to make sure it is extra crispy.
- Prepare your toppings ahead of time. This makes assembly super quick.
- To keep the lettuce from wilting, wait to dress the salad until right before serving. You can also serve the dressing on the side.
- Serve the salad immediately so as to keep the lettuce and toppings crisp.
