Sometimes, less is more.  When you want a really pretty, delicious, and easy salad, this one is just what you need.  With only five ingredients, the flavor this salad packs is incredible.  The surprising sweetness and crunch of the pecans really add a very five-star restaurant quality to this salad.  Enjoy!

2 hearts of Romaine lettuce
1 T pecans, toasted
1 small red bell pepper
1/4 C Italian spiced cheese, shredded
1 C Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing

Separate the leaves of each heart and place them on 2 salad plates. Sprinkle the top of the lettuce with 1/2 T of the pecans per plate. Slice the red pepper open and remove the seeds and core.  Then chop the red bell pepper into small bitesize pieces.  Place the red pepper on top of both salads. Top each salad with half of the cheese. Top each salad with the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.
