As I was unpacking the bags, my handicapped daughter Erica began setting aside her favorite ingredients. She said she wanted to make a salad for dinner. This was really exciting for me because she is usually afraid to try and cook or make something. I lent a little help with the dressing mixing, but the rest was hers. I was soooo proud. We had it for dinner with some good bread. | | Ingredients | | 1 medium sized romaine lettuce ,washed and outer leaves trimmed .Lay on paper towels to drain.
5 large basil leaves, sliced into strips
