# Expert Tips:
01 -
- That moment when creamy dressing meets crisp lettuce and you realize you could eat the entire bowl in one sitting
- The herbs make it taste like something from a fancy restaurant but it comes together in minutes
- Its the kind of lunch that leaves you feeling energized instead of heavy
02 -
- The lettuce will get soggy if you assemble these too far ahead so keep the filling and leaves separate until the last minute
- Chilling the salad for 30 minutes before serving actually makes a huge difference in flavor development
03 -
- Use a mix of tender herbs and feel free to adjust based on what you have or love
- Butter lettuce cups feel more special but romaine works if you want something sturdier
