Tomatoes with Blue Cheese Salad Recipe

Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

This is a fantastic light and healthy salad recipe from one of my favorites, Paula Deen. Great for a BBQ, picknic or Sunday dinner. I especially like the salad dressing and make a double batch and refridgerate the unused dressing for up to a week.

For the salad you will need:

• 1 head romaine lettuce, washed, dried and chopped
• 1 ripe tomato, sliced
• 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• Freshly ground black pepper

Dressing:

Make the dressing: In a glass jar with a tight lid, combine lemon juice, oil, sugar, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Shake well and drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving.
