Once everything is in, seal the bag and make sure that all the air is not in the bag. Place these ingredients in the friedge until it is time for dinner.
When you want to serve the salad, place the lettuce in a large bowl. Pour the mixed content of the zipper bag to the bowl, on top of the iceberg salad.
