Notes

  1. Pro tip: You may prep the lettuce ahead, but salad is best served immediately.
  2. Also known as Bibb lettuce or Boston lettuce. It's very soft and tender with a mild, sweet flavor. This type of lettuce often comes packaged as living butter lettuce. It cannot be replanted, but the attached roots preserve freshness and nutrition. Live butter lettuce will keep for about 3-4 days unwashed.
  3. I used a combination of watermelon and red radish for color. Use your favorite!
  4. The nutrition information does not include the salad dressing as that information has been calculated in a separate post.
