Notes

Storage & Make Ahead InstructionsFridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The longer it sits, the more wilted the dip will become, so it is best consumed within 24 hours of being mixed with the dressing. Make Ahead: All the ingredients except the lettuce may be chopped and mixed up to 24 hours in advance. Just before serving, stir in the dressing and the lettuce.
