Sensational Salad

I love a good salad and am always looking for an interesting one to add to my meals.  One of my go-to recipes combines romaine and parsley in a garlic vinaigrette.  We serve this salad with everything from pasta to pot roast.  It's really yummy!

 This recipe comes from the Junior League Celebration Cookbook and is accurately called "Sensational Salad."

Sensational Salad with Garlic Vinaigrette

Salad
2 large heads romaine, washed, dried and torn into bite sized pieces
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 cup grated Romano cheese
1 (4 oz) package blue cheese, crumbled
ground black pepper to taste

Garlic Vinaigrette
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
2 cloves garlic minced (or 2 heaping tsp jarred minced garlic)
1 tsp salt
ground black pepper to taste.

Whisk Garlic Vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.  Combine lettuce and parsley in large bowl.  Just before serving pour enough vinaigrette to moisten the greens.  Toss well.  Sprinkle with Romano and blue cheeses.  Toss again.  Season with pepper.
