Wednesday Dinner- That Good Salad

I think this salad is why we get invited to picnics and parties! It is my most requested dish. Mary Anne found this recipe and I am so glad it was passed on to me. That Good Salad

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 bunches (1lb. each) romaine, torn

2 cups chopped tomatoes

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 bacon strips, cooked, crumbled

1 cup Caesar salad croutons

In a jar with tight fitting lid, combine: oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and shake well; chill.

In a bowl toss romaine, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, almonds, Parmesan cheese, and bacon. Shake dressing; pour over salad and toss. Add croutons and serve immediately.

We are having hamburgers on the grill with this salad. There are not many days left before we start shoveling a path to the grill. We have been known to do this many times during the winter. Crazy New Yorkers!
