"I was asked to bring a salad to match with rib-eyes to a friend's cottage recently. I knew there were a couple of picky eaters, so thought a variation on something familiar might do the trick. It got rave reviews from the foodies present, too! Found online at wowsie.com. I used about 2/3 of the dressing on three romaine hearts, and it fed 10 generously."
