A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits carrot, pepper and lettuce salad without overpowering its crunchy vegetables. The salad is traditionally served without dressing; add any dressing shortly before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
Yes, you can prep carrot, pepper and lettuce salad ahead, but keep the washed, thoroughly dried ingredients separate. Combine them shortly before serving, and wait to add dressing until then; this helps prevent limp lettuce and a watery salad.
Dry the lettuce thoroughly after washing and store carrot, pepper and lettuce salad without dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keep the vegetables cool and add any dressing at the last moment, since moisture and dressing soften the lettuce.
Yes, you can use romaine or another crisp lettuce in carrot, pepper and lettuce salad. The original version uses crisp head lettuce, but a sturdier leaf keeps its crunch well; softer leaves may wilt sooner once mixed with dressing.
Carrot, pepper and lettuce salad can become a more substantial meal with a filling addition such as chickpeas, beans, egg, or grilled chicken. Add the protein just before serving so it complements the fresh vegetables without making the salad soggy.
