Creamy Dressing for a Simple Romaine Salad

This is a great dressing for crispy romaine, but is great on any greens.I make a salad with crisp romaine, thinly sliced red onion and some crunchy homemade croutions that have been sprinkled with Parmesan cheese as soon as they come out of the deep fryer. Very delish! This can be doubled, or made to accommodate a larger group of people. I serve this salad dressing on the side. You may use ready made croutons, or make them yourself.
