Romaine Salad With Creamy Garlic Dressing

I wish i had a nickel for every time i was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! a good description for this is a caesar salad gone balistic. It travels well too; i prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when i get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the sunset cookbook of favorite recipes ii.
