I used Romaine lettuce because I knew we'd have leftovers and I find that lettuce lasts a bit longer. The salad and dressing were great the next day too.

I have never done that. On the list for sure. In terms of meat I usually go with something lean and cheap because I want the beefy flavor but when eating cold or room temp I don't want the fat- my preference.

Until this moment. <br /><br />And by the way, would someone in the good ole US of A kindly send me some packets of ranch dressing mix? Because thanks to WC's throwaway comment, I'm craving that now, as well.
