Salad Again...? Yum!

This is the new experiment recipe sent to me by Kathy A. I hope mine turns out as good as her version... Thanks for sending. I'm giving it a try tonite.

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 4 Belgian endives, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
