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.
