Recipe View Dress and Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. (2 mins)

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding some crumbled feta cheese for a salty tang.
To toast the slivered almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them carefully as they can burn easily.
The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Feel free to substitute the romaine lettuce with other greens such as spinach, butter lettuce, or a spring mix.

    I added some dried cranberries for extra sweetness, and it was delicious!

  • Julie Wiegandlindgren

    I made this for a potluck, and it was the first dish to disappear. The bacon adds such a nice smoky flavor.

  • Morton Gleichner

    The dressing is so easy to make, and it's much better than anything you can buy at the store.
