Apple and Blue Cheese Salad image

This is our favorite salad . . . sometimes we just make a meal out of it! Note: I've found that the romaine is best (very crisp) if it's soaked in ice water for approximately 30 minutes, then spin dry. I use my Recipe #175543 however a good quality bottled blue cheese dressing can be substituted

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and it will still be delicious the next day.
