CHOPPED ROMAINE SALAD WITH THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING



Chopped Romaine Salad With Thousand Island Dressing image

This dressing is much better than any store-bought. I'm not usually a Thousand Island type of person, but this is great on this salad, and on crab or shrimp Louis as well. I found this in Bon Appetit magazine, February 1998. Prep time does not include making hard-boiled egg.
