Hi Sue,
I don't have the exact recipe you're looking for, but Ruth's Chris Steak House Chopped Salad Developed by owner Ruth Fertel
A mix of julienne: iceberg lettuce spinach radicchio
Tossed with: red onion mushrooms green olives bacon eggs hearts of palm croutons blue cheese lemon basil dressing
topped with: cherry tomatoes crispy fried red onions
I'm not claiming either of these are the correct Lemon Basil Dressing recipe but I'm including them as a good starting point for experimenting.
