Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 large head Romaine lettuce (or another variety, if desired), about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
1 large clove garlic, peeled, crushed and finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons peanut, canola or virgin olive oil

Steps:

Separate the lettuce leaves, removing and discarding damaged or wilted areas, and break or cut them into 2-inch pieces. (There should be about eight loose cups.) Wash the lettuce in a basin of cool water, drain and dry thoroughly, preferably in a salad spinner, so no water remains.
Place all the dressing ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the salad greens, and whisk briefly to mix but not to emulsify.
Add the greens, and toss well. Serve with the Cornish hens.
