• Quick Lettuce Core Removal Tip
• Slam the head of lettuce down on a cutting board, core-side down. The core will separate from the rest of the head with a twist and come out easily.
• From Trisha
• This dressing also makes a great topping for burgers.
• From Gwen
• There are no pickles in the dressing, thus no "islands." I call it Rushin' Dressing because you can mix it quickly when you are rushing to get dinner on the table.
