How to prepare the salad ahead of time
- Wash your romaine lettuce. Slice in half horizontally. Wrap in damp paper towels and place in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Mix your dressing and keep in the refrigerator.

Variations
For something different, you can chop the romane lettuce into small pieces and toss it with the other vegetables. This would be a good way to serve a large crowd.
