Farm Girl Tips
For ease of preparation, I use a bottled salad dressing. Some commonly found grocery store varieties are Marzetti Simply Dressed Lemon Vinaigrette, Newman's Own Citrus Splash or Panera's Mediterranean Lemon Vinaigrette.
You can certainly make your own salad dressing, too. There are tons of recipes on the internet. As always, you do you!
