Dressing

This is not a dressing heavy salad, and depending on the lettuce used, you may want to add the liquids slowly. If setting aside and not eating immediately, refrain from adding the dressing as the acidity can break down the other ingredients. Also, you can squeeze lemon or lime for some extra acidity.
