Lettuce Salad with Creamy Dressing, Walnuts and Cheese    Time: 10 minutes

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

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.

Creamy Herb Dressing

1/2 cup plain yogurt  my yogurt comes in 1/2 cup cartons, if you have left over yogurt you could make
                                
a bit more dressing, eat the yogurt, or add a bit of sugar and balsamic vinegar 
                                 and eat it over some nice fresh strawberries for dessert....hmmmm  

1 tbs Dijon mustard
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs fresh snipped chives        Substitute 2 tsp dried
1 tbs fresh snipped tarragon    Substitute 2 tsp dried
3 tbs olive oil - the good stuff

Snip tarragon and chives with scissors.  In small bowl whisk yogurt, mustard and lemon juice.  Add oil, a bit at a time and whisk well.  Add herbs.  This will keep a week.
