Total Time 20 minutes mins
For the salad:
- 1 package bacon cooked and chopped
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 3 tomatoes chopped
- 2/3 cup slivered almonds toasted lightly
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 2 cups croutons homemade or store
For the dressing:
- 2 lemons juiced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- salt and pepper
Whisk the dressing ingredients in a bowl until combined and taste and season.
Cook the bacon and chop it.
Toast the almonds lightly in a frying pan on the stove top or on a cookie sheet in the oven. Just until they are starting to brown slightly. Burnt nuts are bitter so be careful not to burn them.
Wash and cut the lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
Add all the the ingredients to a salad bowl and toss with the dressing.
