Note

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store the dressing and cheese separately and toss just before serving to maintain crispness.

For a vegan variation, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a nutritional yeast substitute.

You can substitute red onion with green onions or shallots for a milder flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the lettuce may soften.
