‘ KNOW that many of us
“get bogged down at party

‘time. and make a quick call.

.to the nearest deli for a piate
‘of meat and cheese to round
out the feast. But how many
of -us know ‘exactly what
-we're buying when we make
_that rushed phone call?

(Prepare the dressing early in the
day and refrigerate.) Combine all
ingredients in your blender and
whip until mixture is very well
blended.

Have remaining ingredients
ready, but do not combine until
the last minute. Wash and tear let-
tuce into bite-sized pieces and seal
in a plastic bag. Just before serv-
ing, toss lettuce, Parmesan and
croutons. Add dressing and toss
again. Grind pepper over the top.
