BLT Salad

This is a HUGE hit!

Dressing:

Juice of 1 lemon or 3 TB of lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 cup olive oil

Salad:

2 heads romaine lettuce

4 oz bacon, cooked and diced- I used turkey bacon

2 cups grape tomatoes cut in half

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2/3 cup slivered almonds

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Homemade Croutons:

Dense french bread

butter

garlic salt

Slice bread about 1 inch thick. Spread with butter and sprinkle with a little garlic salt.

Lay the slices on a cookie sheet and broil until lightly browned. For crispier croutons, broil both sides. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
