Expert Tips:
- Go the mice en place route and prep the ingredients separately to prevent the salad from becoming soggy, and stir in the dressing just before you dig in.
- For optimum freshness, grab a head of lettuce and chop it yourself instead of reaching for pre-shredded lettuce.
- Cut the meat and cheese the same size for a more consistent bite.
