Salad de Maison

This salad recipe is from my mother in law. Salad Ingredients: 1 head of Romaine lettuce, torn in pieces 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (the original recipe called for Swiss but we don't like Swiss cheese) 2/3 cup almonds, slivered 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 1 cup croutons 1/4 pound bacon Dressing: 3 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup canola oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 tsp pepper Lightly toast the almonds.  We cooked them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally until they are just lightly browned.  Cut up bacon into 2 inch pieces and cook until crisp.  Toss lettuce, tomatoes, cheeses, almonds, croutons, and bacon together and set aside.  Prepare dressing by blending remaining ingredients in a blender.  Pour over salad, toss, and serve immediately. 12 servings
