Directions
Rinse lettuce, cut into bite size pieces, and dry.
Try to get lettuce as dry as possible so dressing is not diluted.
If you have a salad spinner it is best.
Blend dressing ingredients together for 1 to 2 minutes, drizzling the olive oil in at the end a little at a time.
Toss romaine with desired amount of dressing and walnuts and chicken if desired.
There will be dressing left over.
It keeps very well in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
