Crunchy Romaine Toss

This salad is simple and delicious! We have had SOOO much lettuce from our CSA (community supported agriculture) garden that I've been making lots of salads. This one has been a repeater and that's saying something at my house!

In my opinion it needs less than half the dressing, so make less or else whiz up the whole batch to use on a several salads...
