Tip

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

To 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.

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

This recipe is excellent! I love pizza, so when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I have made it several times already for my husband. I use turkey pepperoni and shredded parmesan cheese instead of grated. I also don't add the Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the sun-dried tomato salad dressing (I buy Ken's Steakhouse brand), because I like the dressing the way it is, right out of the bottle. As my husband says, "It's a keeper!"
