Notes

This salad can be customized by adding protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal. For a lighter version, use less dressing or substitute for a different cheese. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent soggy lettuce. This salad can be paired well with main dishes like grilled fish or Cuban sandwiches.
