Whether you make this salad for yourself or a huge platter of it for a crowd, it takes just minutes to prepare. I’d highly recommend sticking with romaine lettuce (especially the hearts), as the texture is addictive when slightly wilted. Other leafy lettuces may get too soggy with the weight of the ground beef and the thickened sauce. Tip: Read labels carefully when shopping for black rice vinegar—there are brands that sell “black vinegar” that are not made with rice. I used Gold Plum's Chinkiang vinegar (another name for black rice vinegar) purchased at a local Asian grocery store. If you can’t find black rice vinegar, use balsamic vinegar.
