Char's Ceasar Salad

We had this for Christmas this year and it might now be my favorite green salad.

iceburg lettuce
romaine lettuce

Chop up as big as you want your salad to be.
1 can hearts of palm - rinsed and cut
Grated parmesan cheese
olives cut
croutons
grape tomatoes - cut in half
ripe avocadoes
Paul Newman's Creamy Ceasar

Mix together. Do not mix dressing in until you are ready to serve. The lettuce will go wilty if dressing is left on too long.

I think it would be good to add some sliced almonds to this salad.
