Pasta House Salad Recipe
This is something that we always have during family gatherings. It has a flavor unlike anything else and is really simple to put together. I usually prepare it the night before, separating the salad ingredients into two separate bowls and storing the dressing in a third one; right before serving, I mix the two together.

Ingredients
- Iceberg lettuce, one head
- 1/2 a head of romaine lettuce
- 1 drained artichoke heart from a can
- 1 medium-sized red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pimiento jar
- 2/3 cup of olive oil
- 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Salt, 1 teaspoon
- The equivalent of a third of a cup of parmesan
Instructions
- Place the lettuce, artichoke hearts, onion, and pimiento in a large salad bowl and toss to combine. Set the bowl aside.
- Put the remaining ingredients into a secure lid container and mix them together.
- Vigorously shake the jar until all of the ingredients are combined.
- After pouring the dressing over the salad, toss it until it is evenly distributed.
- Marinate by placing it in the refrigerator for about half an hour before serving.
- Note that you should not add the dressing more than half an hour before you plan to serve it since the acids in the dressing will start to break down the lettuce, which will cause it to become limp.
