Hey everyone!
I had a huge dinner earlier today with a bunch of friends and I made this salad that everyone LOVES! They wanted me to post it so I though maybe you guys would be interested too. On Easter Sunday I served a similar version to Jordan and Mike, to which Mike responded, "I think this is the best salad I've ever had!" That's probably not saying much for an Idaho boy :) but if he liked it maybe you guys will too. I'm sure you've all had it before but it's my favorite so here it is.
Ingredients:
spring mix lettuce
1 yellow pepper
1 granny smith apple
red onion
bacon pieces (real bacon)
craisins
shredded Parmesan cheese
sliced almonds
dressing:
olive oil
apple cider vinegar
sugar
lemon juice (opt.)
salt and pepper (opt.)
directions:
Thinly slice the pepper and red onion
chop into small pieces the green apple
mix in with greens (however much you want)
*I don't have any measurements of anything because I do it all by looks and taste so add however much of the other toppings that you want.
*for the almonds heat a small frying pan with just a few drops of olive oil. toast the almonds until they are golden brown and add a touch of salt (or sugar). Add the browned almonds to the salad.
For the dressing I blend in a separate cup a 1/4 cup olive oil and a little more than a 1/4 cup vinegar. Again I just go by taste. I like mine a little tangier. Then I add a pinch of sugar. Stir it very well and pour over salad. Toss thoroughly and serve immediately.
Enjoy my very favorite salad!
love maggie

Mags-
I love salad, it must be spring. And thank you for using REAL bacon. Although I have to say, bacon in ANYTHING makes it good! (except for ice cream, only chocolate will do there)
Hope to see you soon!

Maggs! Someone made a salad like this for me last Summer, and I kicked myself for not getting the recipe. Mmmmmmm, it sounds so good! Thanks for sharing!!
yummmmm! i heart salad! thanks for this!
I love this blog! It is my fav thing! I tried the salad, the sweet pork (holy smokes that was so good), and the boston cream pie all in the past few weeks! And I dont even cook that much but I am starting to get addicted to it because of all of you awesome cousins! Emily can you just make those cupcakes for me? Ever since I saw the picture my mouth has been watering!
I've been looking-well, just hoping really, for a recipe like that for years! Thank you, thank you!
And it was great to see you Friday Maggie!
