Ingredients: 2 quarts mixed salad greens; 1 small head cauliflower, broken into florets; 4 slices red onion, separated into rings; 1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced; BLUE CHEESE DRESSING:; 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled; 1/3 cup canola oil; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley; 3 tablespoon chopped green onions

I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.

Just prepared this for a party later today and who doesn't love blue cheese - couldn't stop sampling it while I was making it. Delicious
