Well, first off my personal favorite is romaine lettuce!. I agree on the iceberg lettuce!. It's watery and has barely any nutriens, where as romaine is packed with nutriens and tastes great!.
For the dressing, it's hard to make it with no salt, but if you limit the salt, I think you will be ok!. A simple vinegrette could be combining salt, pepper, red wine vinegar (or your favorite vinegar) and dijon mustard!. After these are whisked together, slowly pour in the oil (your oil of choice, I like olive oil) and whisk while it is being put in, like a stream of oil!. As far as measurements, a vinegrette is one part vinegar to two parts oil!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
