Tips:
I have made this on more Sundays than I can count. I prepare the lettuce, blend the 6 ingredients , and get the hard cheese ready for my son to grate. I always use fresh lemon or fresh lime.
My family prefers a tart dressing. My friend adds 1 Tbsp sugar (not included in Nutritional Values).
Seperately.
