Mix the creamy dressing in a medium bowl. Whisk together ingredients until smooth, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Wash the crispy lettuce under cold water. Pat dry and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad, gently toss to coat all ingredients, and serve immediately.
Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with extra Swiss cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
