Shredded Romaine Salad image

This is a zesty and garlicky salad that our family loves. It is adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks - Ellen Helman's "The Uncommon Gourmet". Ellen suggests garnishing the salad with toasted pine nuts. We like it plain but will occasionally add such garnishes as chopped tomato, croutons or diced cucumber...whatever we're in the mood for.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots, celery, and bell peppers, and they all worked perfectly in this salad.
