Directions

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.
