Whether you’re making this copycat house salad or any other, there are a few simple tricks to make it taste like it came from your favorite restaurant.  First, make your dressing. Store-bought simply cannot compare to a good homemade dressing. Two, season your greens! Salt and freshly cracked black pepper give the fresh produce a flavor boost -and third, toss the salad with dressing before plating, so the ingredients are coated evenly but not soggy.
