Overnight Lettuce Salad image

After much trial and error, I came up with this recipe for an easy side salad. When company's coming I don't want to be in the kitchen chopping vegetables, so I make this the day before. The idea for salting the lettuce is from a Cook's Country magazine article, and surprisingly it doesn't make the salad watery!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lettuce. I had some romaine lettuce that was starting to wilt, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up. The dressing is also very versatile, and I can see myself using it on other salads as well.
