This is the best salad of all time. The dressing is SUPER easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand. I first had it about a year ago and I've been addicted every since. I like to switch it up and use different types of lettuce. I never use the cheese, but I always add some kind of nut to it (cashews are my favorite). Today I used cashews plus a trail mix that contained sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, raisins, and pepitas. Key for the best flavor: don't use lemon juice from a bottle, use fresh!

I went to a dinner tonight and brought this salad. Excellent! I substituted the cashews with almond slivers....delicious. Thank you for the easy recipe.

I have NEVER had such a response to a salad as I did to this one! Everyone I have ever made it for has asked for the recipe. Not only is it easy AND good...it is so pretty! I added fancy, curly lettuce and spinach to the sald (in addition to the romaine), which just made it even better--and there was still plenty of dressing to coat the additional amount of greens. This salad is one of the reasons I just love this site.

This is so very yumpy! I took this to a small birthday party this weekend, and it was a huge hit! The dressing is awsome, to say the very least! I used a combintion of romaine and spinach. I will be making this again, that is for sure! Thanks for the great recipe Ivy!!!
