For the lettuce: iceberg or romaine lettuce works best, but a mix from the two is also great.
Meal prep: as you can see the sauce can be stored for 2 weeks so you can make ahead, also a double batch is good.
For more texture, I could imagine adding shredded carrots to the Big Mac Salad will do the trick.
