Directions

Salad
    1. Toss all salad ingredients together in a large salad bowl.
Dressing
    1. Mix dressing ingredients together, whisk to combine.
Notes The recipe called for the dressing to be tossed with the salad just before serving. We found this tended to wilt the romaine and therefore we prefer to put the dressing into a bottle and let everyone put their own desired amount of dressing on their individual bowls of salad. Any leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator , covered. The dressing can be stored separately in the refrigerator — it can also be used on other types of vegetable salads Serving size:2 cup / 240 g Exchanges per Serving: 1 Carb, 1 Protein, 1 Fat, 1 Veg
