CHOPPED SALAD WITH LEMON BASIL DRESSING

Chopped Salad With Lemon Basil Dressing image

This is one of my all-time favorite salads! I've had it twice at Ruth's Chris Steak House and was excited to find this copycat recipe on the web.It's an eclectic mix of 11 ingredients and you can customize it to suit personal tastes.The restaurant makes the onion rings by coating thinly sliced red onion rings with flour, then deep-frying in oil, but you can substitute canned french-fried onion rings if desired (granted, they're not the same) or skip the onion rings entirely. This recipe makes 4 main-dish salads ( my girlfriend and I usually split one salad at the restaurant and it's plenty!)
