Evelyn’s Strawberry-Romaine Salad
Ingredients:
• cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• cloves garlic (minced)
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. paprika
• ¼ tsp. ground white pepper
• 1 large head of romaine lettuce
• 1 head of Boston lettuce
• 1 pint strawberries (sliced) (you can sub w/ raspberries or kiwi’s*)
• 1 cup (4 oz) shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (toasted)
Directions:
Combine first seven ingredients for dressing. Blend in blender or
shake in large covered jar or container. Tear washed lettuce into
bite size pieces. Combine lettuce & other ingredients in large salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently (you will have more dressing than you need...so go easy on pouring it to toss...and it should keep in your fridge for at least a week). Serves 12
*for 4th of July you could add blueberries for color*
