This just looked like a nice refreshing, complimenting salad. And since I’m not a huge salad lover, I like to find salads that either of an especially good dressing, or else lots of interesting ingredients.  This recipe comes from The Best of Bridge Series that I love.  The book in particular is, “The Best of The Best and More“.  We’re trying it this week, I’ll let you know what I think!

Romaine with Oranges & Pecans:
Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

2 heads of Romaine Lettuce torn into bite size peices (I’m using Speing Mix)
1 cup Pecans, toasted (I’m sure it would be yummy with Sesame Honey Cashews from Trader Joe’s too….)
2 oranges, peeled and sliced

Dressing:

1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 t salt
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 t dry mustard
2 T water

Place lettuce, pecans and oranges in a salad bowl.  Combine dressing ingredients in blender.  Blend until well mixed.  Make ahead and refrigerate until ready to toss salad. Use extra dressing as a dip for fresh fruit.
