Add nuts: Add some toasted pine nuts or walnuts for extra crunch.
Cheese alternatives: Swap Parmesan with feta cheese for a different flavor profile.
Add fruit: Fresh strawberries or apple slices can add a sweet contrast to the tangy lemon dressing.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: While the salad is best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the vegetables and store them in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Just add the dressing right before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
Q: Can I use a different type of lettuce?
A: Absolutely! You can substitute Romaine with butter lettuce, arugula, or any lettuce of your choice.
