This was very tasty! Next time, I’ll chop the vegetables and make the dressing in advance so dinner comes together quicker! We used two bags of nice crispy romaine. It made a lot of salad! For that quantity, next time I’d maybe double the salad dressing.

I used spring mix for lettuce. Turned out pretty well. Honestly the dressing recipe made soooo much, it might get wasted so I recommend halving it.
