Notes
Buy pre-washed organic romaine lettuce so that you don't have to wash the greens. Not only is washing greens time consuming but it actually makes your salad taste worse. Dressing cannot stick to wet lettuce. So if you're lettuce even slightly wet the salad will taste flavorless because all of the dressing will slide off and pool at the bottom of your plate.
To make ahead - store the salad and the dressing separately. Don't mix them until you are ready to serve.
