Tips
I usually cook the dry ingredients separately as it is so easy to burn if you are not careful. This is a great recipe for when having guests as all the cooking can be done the night before and stored in tupperware until needed. The dressing can equally be prepared earlier leaving only the shredding of lettuce and assembly to do just before serving!
