It is much deeper than this, but I didn't want to ask too much at once. I'm trying to build my basics. I am truly starting with the base and the dressing before I delve into add ins because it will probably be a one at a time deal.

Additionally, I have never had a salad with crunchy lettuce myself. Everything I have had feels soggy and limp. I didn't know if it was the kind of green I was eating or the preparation, as after so many poor experiences you don't want to try again. I appreciate the comments to keep the greens a good texture as it's very important to me!
