Mixed Lettuce Chiffonade with Gorgonzola-Herb Dressing

Yet another simple salad recipe with a great dressing that you can use with other salads too. It's from Gourmet and you can also use the recipe as a dip for chicken wings or raw vegetables. It's just a wonderful sauce, and very very easy to make.

It's also great if you add a little bit garlic to the sauce. Enjoy:)
