Strawberry Romaine Salad


Romain Lettuce - washed and torn into pieces.

*Toss with dressing before adding other toppings. I like to just barely have a hint of dressing on it - others like a dripping salad so do it to your own preference.

Strawberries - sliced
Manadarin Oranges
Chopped Almonds
Craisins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dressing:

1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/2 chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp mustard

*Mix in blender until smooth. Then slowly add while blender is on:

1 cup oil (Olive or Vegetable)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**For variations you can use spinach or a combination of spinach/lettuce. Instead of almonds use carmeled walnuts or pine nuts. You can also add sliced green onions for a more tart taste.

Yummy! I think I'm hungy. I keep seeing yummy food that I want to try.

This reminds me of the Souper Salad in Salt Lake. I love that place because of the variety of salads you can have.

This looks like it came straight out of a cookbook. Have you ever thought of making your own cookbook and sell it?
