Your Basic Tossed Salad

"This is Rachael Ray's recipe and pretty much the salad I grew up on coming from an Italian family. The portions can be increased for larger groups. I love this simple and healthy salad. It is a perfect salad to serve with Italian food!"

  1. Thanks for posting this Rachael Ray salad Little Bee. Very nice. We enjoyed it very much. The dressing was basic but nice and light. I would mix it ahead let chill and shake again next time to meld the flavors for longer. Made as written for some hungry men. Thumbs up all around. Enjoy! ChefDLH
     
  2. Super simple and delicious! I left out the carrot and added radishes instead. The dressing worked very well with the romaine. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. Very nice salad. I also added some radishes, for some extra crunch.
     
  4. Went to my Brothers house Sunday we had Steaks on the grill. I made this salad. Everyone was very pleased with the Salad. This was the first time we had Romaine. I must say we will have this over and over. Thank You so very much for posting. Hugs
     
  5. I don't know that I have ever made a salad out of just romaine lettuce hearts before but I was quite pleased. Great salad with our meal. I love any kind of vinegar dressing so this was really tasty. I had to leave out the carrot as we didn't have any other than that I didn't change much at all.
