Salad is a go to meal in my lord’s house, and we love tasty homemade dressings. I came up with this recipe on a week-night when I had only a few moments to whip up dinner. A nice mound of romaine lettuce, filled with tomatoes, avocado, red onion, scallions, fajita peppers and mushrooms, shredded cheese, and a grilled chicken breast resulted. This tangy dressing finished our mid-week meal beautifully, and lends itself nicely to many salads and recipes I’ve sense created.
