"A quick and easy salad that is a little more exotic than a regular lettuce salad but not as heavy as a Caesar or Greek Salad. Is a great by inself for a brown bag lunch (romaine lettuce tolerates heat or lack of refridgeration better than regular lettuce) or when serving with pasta dishes for dinner."
