Lettuce Salad with Creamy Dressing, Walnuts and Cheese

Total time: 10 minutes
    This is another small side salad: to round out the meal.  You can add bits of anything you have on hand; we're using some walnut halves and a bit of cheese.  The yogurt dressing is similar to 'Ranch'.... but without all the unpronounceable ingredients...

 Ingredients:

• lettuce, enough for two small salads
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese - any flavor
• 1/4 cup walnuts halves 
• 1/3 cup creamy herb dressing

 Instructions:

• Prepare lettuce and put into a medium bowl. 
• Add a bit of dressing and toss to coat (use tongs, it's easier). 
• Taste and add more dressing if desired. 
• Add cheese and walnuts, give it another toss or two and serve.

• 4 tsp salad olive oil
