Ingredients:
1 large bunch of variety leaf lettuce 3 shallots (minced) 3 garlic cloves (minced, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder) 3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon salt pepper (to taste)
Preparation:
Rinse and spin-dry lettuce, set aside. In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Add lettuce on top and place in refrigerator. Toss well before serving and top with croutons and/or cheese sprinkles, if desired. A few tips: You may want to add more or less salt, depending on how much lettuce you are using. You can also use 1/4 chopped onion in place of the shallots - shallots have a milder, sweeter taste that truly compliments the dressing but vidalia or purple onion would be a good substitute. You can also add radishes, chopped kale, and raw spinach greens to the lettuce before tossing.
