Cheesy Italian House Salad With Parmesan Dressing Recipes

PARMESAN ROMAINE SALAD

This salad is simple, but it's big on flavor. The shaved Parmesan adds intense cheese flavor, and the nicely balanced dressing lets the other flavors shine. If you're pressed for time, it's good with bottled dressing, too.
