Romaine Salad With Raspberry Salad Dressing

Romaine Salad With Raspberry Salad Dressing

For more subtle onion flavor, soak the slices in water 30 minutes, drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Toast a small amount of pecans in a skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the nuts are warm to the touch. (Be sure not to let nuts overbrown.) As pecans cool, they’ll continue to develop the toasted flavor.
