THE BEST ITALIAN GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Use a pre-washed bag of lettuce or, if starting with a head of lettuce, make sure the leaves are rinsed and dried. Place the lettuce in a large bowl.
• If using the white part of the green onions, rinse and dry the green onions, snip off the root end and slice the white part of the onion thinly. Add the white onion slices to your salad.
• If you are using the 9 ounces of lettuce called for, you can just add the dressing ingredients one at a time to the salad and toss with two spoons to mix well.
• If you would rather make the dressing separately, add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl or container and whisk to combine. (If you have a lid on the container, you can shake it up to mix it.) Pour the mixed dressing onto the lettuce and toss well with two spoons. (Use less dressing if you have less than 9 ounces of lettuce.)
• Serve immediately and finish leftovers within an hour or so. Leftover salad will get soggy, but keep it refrigerated if saving it and eat it within a day or so.
