My current favorite salad is very simple. I like to use a nice leaf lettuce, like green or red leaf lettuce, or romaine. I usually don't use the already washed greens unless I'm using spinach. I have a very inexpensive (like $5) salad spinner and that takes care of washing my salad greens.
I like to add tomatoes, asiago or parmesan cheese, and croutons to a nice bed of greens. Then I add my favorite salad dressing:
Creamy Garlic Dressing
1 T. mayonnaise
1 T. + 1-1/2 t. red wine vinegar
1-1/2 t. fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 t. Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely minced
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, except olive oil, salt and pepper. Slowing pour in olive oil while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.
Refrigerate leftovers.
