Good questions, answered.

Can I make this ahead?

You can chop the vegetables ahead, but add the dressing right before serving to keep everything crisp.

Can I add lettuce to this salad?

Traditional Greek salad doesn't include lettuce, but you can add romaine or mixed greens if you prefer a heartier salad.
