Pro Tips
Well, I’ve found that a short rest lets the mayo settle into the lettuce, creating a subtle, cohesive bite. It’s a small pause that makes a big difference, especially when you’re serving them to guests. And, honestly, if you’re preparing them ahead of time, a quick cover with a damp towel keeps them from drying out.
