Janet’s Salad with Cream Dressing

My sister Janet has been making this salad for decades – a family favorite of her Mother-in-Law, Margaret. Janet adds a little onion and garlic powder to taste; in fact, does the whole thing each time by taste. We’ve come as close to it as we can.

There are no Carbs in the dressing so play around with the flavours to suit yourself. We take the easy route and buy “Inspired Leaves Crispies and Crunchies” 5 oz (142 gr) washed lettuce, but the original is with chopped iceberg lettuce.
