Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
Add sprouts as a topping, not mixed in — they lose their crunch and freshness when tossed throughout the whole salad.
Make the dressing a day ahead if possible. The flavors deepen significantly overnight.
Tips:
Dress only the portion being eaten immediately. Caesar dressing wilts lettuce within 30 minutes.
Storage:
Store components separately: dressing keeps refrigerated for up to 1 week, salad ingredients up to 2 days, assembled salad best eaten immediately.
Swaps:
Romaine can be swapped for little gem lettuce or kale (massage kale first). Sprouts can be replaced with microgreens.
