What You Need

10 cups (2.5 l) torn Romaine lettuce or
baby Romaine lettuce
8 oz (250 g) thinly sliced roast beef, cut into strips
1 cup (250 ml) cooked fresh green beans, chopped or
thawed green beans
1 cup (250 ml) crumbled old Canadian Cheddar cheese
1 cup (250 ml) grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup (250 ml) croutons

Dressing:
1 cup (250 ml) Milk
1/2 cup (125 ml) mayonnaise (light or regular)
2 tbsp (30 ml) Dijon mustard
2 tbsp (30 ml) prepared horseradish
1/4 tsp (1 ml) sugar
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried thyme
Pinch each, Salt and pepper
1/4 cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar or
white wine vinegar

Instructions

Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together milk, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper; gradually whisk in vinegar. Let stand for 5 min or until thickened.

In a large bowl, toss lettuce with about 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the dressing to coat. Divide among serving plates; top with roast beef, green beans, cheese and tomatoes. Drizzle with more dressing and sprinkle with croutons. (Any extra dressing can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)


Tips

Cooking Tip: To make this salad for a packed lunch, assemble salad ingredients in a large, shallow plastic container and pack dressing in a separate container. Keep cold. When ready to eat, drizzle dressing over salad, replace lid and shake gently to coat evenly.

For the Adventurous: Use extra-hot horseradish in dressing. Use blue cheese instead of Cheddar and add 1/2 cup (125 mL) sautéed mushrooms to salad.
