Sensation Salad

Ingredients

  • Dressing ingredients
  • 3 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbs. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 4 oz. olive oil
  • 5 oz. vegetable oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped very fine
  • Greens
  • 1 cup finely grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
  • 1 head of romaine, iceberg, Boston, Bibb, or butter lettuce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or a quart-size jar. Add 1/4 cup of cold water. Whisk the mixture in the bowl or shake the jar up until the ingredients are well blended. Refrigerate.

  2. 2

    When ready to serve, combine the cheeses and the chopped parsley on a bowl or jar. By hand, tear up leaves of a head of romaine and a head of Boston or Bibb or butter lettuce. (Feel free to add other kinds of greens, but stay away from bitter greens like endive or radicchio.)

  3. 3

    Toss the salad with about two-thirds the amount of dressing your instincts tell you, and with a little bit more cheese mixture than you were considering. Add more dressing or cheese to taste.
