Michigan Reunion Salad


This is one of those recipes that I would have passed up had I not been served it and loved it at our family reunion. The dressing is what makes this so delicious. No substitutions!

Salad:
2 heads romaine lettuce, torn in to bite size pieces
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
sections of fresh orange
toasted pecans, optional

Dressing:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
4 teaspoons sugar
4 cloves garlic, pressed

  1. Assemble salad ingredients. Cover with a damp paper towel and crisp in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Assemble and chill the dressing.
  3. Toss with dressing and serve.
