Delicious salad despite being very basic and simple!! We have a chain restaurant here in Florida called "Bonefish Grill" and their house salad includes pine nuts and that is where I found I love toasted pine nuts in salads, so good, definitely don't skip them!!! I wasn't sure what Cos lettuce was so I clicked on the highlight and found: it's said to have originated on the Aegean island of Cos, romaine is also called Cos lettuce, learn something new everyday, lol!!! Thanks for sharing a great salad recipe. Made for ZWT9.

I cut down to 2 servings using romaine lettuce and scallions. This is a nice simple salad and dressing that was very easy to make. I served it with Recipe #423500 and Recipe #171681 for a light and satisfying supper. Thanks for posting Jubes. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6.

Went well with our main dish Recipe #402217 and no competing of flavors. Are green onions called green shallots in Australia? That's new to me. Very simple and basic. Fresh dill from the garden! I can in this case overlook the lack of color. Thanks for posting. Reviewed for ZWT #6

Refreshing and delicious salad. I loved the toasted pine nuts, be sure you don't skip them. Toasting them really brings out a different flavour. This was easy to put together, and my husband and I really liked it! Thanks for posting, made for Aussie Swap :)
