My family always requests that I make this salad for get-togethers. It's light and very good; everyone goes back for seconds. —Bryan Braack, Eldridge, Iowa

Keeping Lettuce FreshTo store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

My objection is that you call this diabetic friendly!!!!!!! 17 grams of carb is a crime, and should never be the price paid for a salad - no matter how good. If one is not diabetic, this is lovely.

I tried this at a dinner party, and the dijon mustard gives it just the right combination of sweet and tangy. I dislike cashews, so I substituted pecans.
