     Have you noticed?  We've been eating a lot of sweets lately at this house.  It's time for a green salad (and some bread with really good butter).

                                          Mrs. Marshall's Salad
                                 a recipe from Brook Lodge | Augusta, Michigan
                                                           

Serves 8 to 12 people
• 2 heads of romaine lettuce
• 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup coarsely grated Swiss cheese
• 2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 pound bacon, diced
1.  Prepare dressing (recipe below).  Sauté bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and reserve.  Wash, dry and tear romaine up into a bowl.  Add enough dressing to lightly coat lettuces.  Toss with tomatoes, Swiss cheese, almonds and Paremsan cheese.  Sprinkle with the reserved bacon.
DRESSING:  Let this set at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
• The juice of 1 lemon
• 3 cloves or garlic, crushed
• Salt
• 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
• Pepper
1.  Mix lemon juice, garlic, cloves and salt.  Add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.  Add pepper to taste.

Now I am really anxious for all my lettuce to size up in the garden. Trouble is, I want this salad right now!

Thanks for sharing!
