ROMAINE AND STRAWBERRY SALAD 
1 head romaine lettuce
2 bunches watercress, stems removed (optional)
1 pt. strawberries, hulled and sliced
4 thinly sliced rings of red onion, separated

DRESSING:

1/3 c. olive oil
1 tbsp. vinegar (Sherry, strawberry or raspberry are best)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Mix Romaine, watercress (if used), strawberries and onion in salad bowl. Mix dressing ingredients in a small jar with tightly fitting lid. Shake well. Pour over greens and serve.

Note: Salad can be assembled ahead of time without dressing, and refrigerated covered until serving time. Also: I have added blanched chilled fresh asparagus tips to salad. Very good! Serves 6-8
