Place chopped lettuce onto platter. Arrange all remaining ingredients except salad dressing in rows over lettuce. Serve with salad dressing.

Tip #1

Tailor this recipe by subbing in any of your favorite veggies. Shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers are two colorful possibilities. As well, grape or cherry tomatoes can be used instead of the chopped whole tomato.
