  1. Grand Parisian Salad (a-la-COSTCO):

    Fancy Lettuce Blend
    with Julienne Carrots
    White Balsamic Dressing
    Frosted Almonds
    Dried Cranberries
    Feta Cheese

    Toss ingredients and add dressing just before serving. We have found that any variation on this combination is also great...any type of nut, cheese, dried fruit, or additional veggies are yummy, too.
