Romaine Salad with Creamy Basil Dressing

The crisp inner leaves of romaine lettuce goes wonderfully with this light and creamy basil-infused dressing. We served the same dressing the following night with a more traditional mixed green salad with lettuce, avocado, tomato and cucumber, and that was delicious too. If you're looking for a tasty alternative to a caesar dressing, give this a try! I've made a lot of salad dressings, and this is one of my few unqualified successes.

  4. Arrange the leaves slightly overlapping on plates, stir the dressing to
  5. recombine if it has separated, and drizzle it over the lettuce. Grind a little pepper over the top of each salad and serve right away.
  6. Alternatively, for a less dramatic presentation, cut leaves into thirds, place in a large salad bowl, and mix with dressing. Then serve. Either way the dressing is delicious!
