Baby Romaine with Green Goddess Dressing
Fanny says she could eat this salad every day; she loves all the shades of green and the fragrance of the herbs. The dressing makes more than enough for this salad, so serve the extra with cold poached fish. Or use it in lobster rolls instead of mayonnaise, as Alice did for Fanny's last birthday dinner.
