Directions:
For salad:
Chop the iceberg, watercress and romaine lettuces. Place in a large salad bowl. Surround with individual bowls of the condiments. Place dressings in small pitchers; allow guests to place lettuce on plates and top with their choice of condiments and dressing.
Alternatively, arrange greens in a large shallow salad bowl, season with salt and pepper, then arrange condiments in rows on top of the greens.
Creamy Parmesan Dressing:
Put the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, shallot, egg, and Tabasco in a food processor (or blender); with machine running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream until mixture thickens. Add the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Dressing will keep in airtight container in fridge for 2-3 days. (Makes 2 cups)
Blue Cheese Dressing:
Place crumbled blue cheese in a bowl. Pour hot water over the cheese and mash with a fork. Add remaining dressing ingredients and mix well. Season to taste with pepper. Dressing will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. (Makes 2 cups)
