Telaryn's Family Salad

No specific measurements on the lettuce, bleu cheese and walnuts -- all are to taste and depend on the number of people being served, etc. etc.

The entire salad should consist of 50% shredded heart of romaine and 50% mixed baby greens (available at most grocery stores). Throw in a handful of bleu cheese, crumbled, and a handful of chopped, toasted walnuts. Add dressing and stir.
