This is the greatest idea I have ever seen

  • 1 . Dressing on the bottom, lettuce on the top. If the two are touching the lettuce will turn to slime.
  • 2 . So, dressing goes in first. On top of your dressing, use a rather "hearty" vegetable, such as shredded cabbage, pea pods, or julienne carrot matchsticks. They can withstand the acidity of the dressing, and actually get better!
  • 3 . Pack it in. Use a nice variety of colorful vegetables! Make it fun and involve the kids.
