Good to Know
Dressing can be mixed up to 2 hours ahead; dress salad just before serving to keep lettuce crisp.
Chop and prepare all ingredients separately up to 4 hours ahead; assemble and dress immediately before eating.
Serve immediately after dressing to prevent lettuce from wilting.
Common Mistakes
Do not dress salad more than a few minutes before serving to avoid soggy lettuce.
Do not skip drying the lettuce and tomato to prevent excess water from diluting the dressing.
