1 cup lettuce,, ½ cup croutons, ¼ cup parmesan cheese,
In a blender, blend well together dressing ingredients. Mix with salad.
½ cup mayonnaise, ½ tsp Dijon mustard, 2 cloves garlic, 1 pinch salt, ½ tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 stem fresh dill, 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Note: Serve your salad with a protein like chicken! These chicken skewers are great if you want to top the salad with your protein, otherwise, serve it on the side. Filet mignon is also great with a salad, and so is fish (I’m partial to salmon). You could also serve this meal with a crusty slice of bread and a bowl of soup!
