Strawberry Romaine Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
Salad
1 head romaine lettuce, cut
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
3 ounces French fried onion rings
1/2 cup of crushed peanut brittle

Preparation

Toss lettuce and strawberries.
Just before serving add crumbled onion rings and crumbled peanut brittle and toss with dressing.
I have used Mesclun from my garden (Spring mix) - mix of young tender lettuce varieties and a sprinkling of arugula and we love those flavors.
Another variation is that I substitute an apple for the strawberries and toasted pecans for the peanut brittle.
I have also used the dressing over fruit (strawberries, mandarin oranges, apples, etc.) and topped with toasted pecans.
