Salad With Tarragon Vinaigrette - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large bunch of variety leaf lettuce
3 shallots (minced)
3 garlic cloves (minced, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Rinse and spin-dry lettuce, set aside.
In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Add lettuce on top and place in refrigerator.
Toss well before serving and top with croutons and/or cheese sprinkles, if desired.
A few tips: You may want to add more or less salt, depending on how much lettuce you are using.
You can also use 1/4 chopped onion in place of the shallots - shallots have a milder, sweeter taste that truly compliments the dressing but vidalia or purple onion would be a good substitute.
You can also add radishes, chopped kale, and raw spinach greens to the lettuce before tossing.
