AMAZING FRUIT/LETTUCE SALAD

Amazing Fruit/Lettuce Salad image

I made this and took it to a party last weekend and is it ever knock your socks off good! To make it I chopped the lettuce up and put into one bowl and mixed the fruit and put into another bowl and refrigerated until time to serve. Just mix it all together and add the dressing and stand back! There weren't any leftovers. I'm just guessing on the servings because I didn't count. LOL! It makes a ton though!

Toss greens and arrange a single serving on each plate.

Tips:

Choose the right lettuce: For a crisp and refreshing salad, use a combination of romaine and iceberg lettuce. If you prefer a milder flavor, use butter lettuce or Boston lettuce.

Use fresh, ripe fruit: The fresher the fruit, the better the flavor of your salad will be. Look for fruit that is plump and free of blemishes.

Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.

Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
