Salad Dressing
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Break the head of iceberg lettuce into quarters, and separate the leaves. Break the romaine lettuce into thirds.
- In a large bowl, combine iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, sliced onions, pimentos, artichoke hearts, and grated parmesan.
- Toss and chill.
Salad Dressing Preparation

Recipe Tips
- This salad calls for both Iceberg and Romaine lettuce to give it a nice variety. Keeping the lettuce in larger chunks is what provides this salad with its appeal.
- Wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will keep the lettuce from wilting.
- Make sure to drain both the artichoke hearts and the pimentos thoroughly to prevent a soggy salad.
