BLT salad

adapted from The Food Nanny cookbook

Serves 4

1 head of Romaine lettuce (washed, spun dry, torn into pieces) 
4 slices of bacon, cooked and torn into small pieces
1 C shredded swiss cheese
1/4 C shredded fresh parmesan cheese
1/4 C slivered almonds
a large handful of grape tomatoes 

Toss all ingredients together.

Drizzle with this dressing (don't use too much):

juice of 1/2 lemon
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 tsp salt
about 1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/3 C vegetable oil 

Add large croutons  - and enjoy!!

Notes:  Once the bacon is ready, this salad is so easy and quick to prepare and everyone loves it.   The ingredients are approximate (for example, just grate the fresh parmesan directly onto the salad, no need to measure).
