Romaine Salad

Ok - this is the BEST SALAD EVER!  My sweet friend Lauren made this salad at a dinner for our sweet  Bible study group.  We were all blown away at the amazing taste!  She informed us she made her own salad dressing and it tastes like a gourmet salad.  I begged her for the recipe and 2 months later, she shared it!  LOL!

This one is Gluten Free and dairy free.  This goes great as a side salad to any meal (especially chicken or steak or white/cream based pasta).  

Enjoy!  This one is a definite keeper!

2 heads romaine lettuce
1 wedge Havarti cheese, crumbled
1 pkg precooked bacon--microwaved and cut in pieces
1/4 c. sunflower seeds
green onion tops, cut up, optional

Dressing:

1-1/2 c. salad oil
1 c. wine vinegar
10 T. sugar
1 T. salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Shake dressing and  toss salad with dressing immediately before serving. (Use as much of the dressing as you like.  I never use more than 1/3 to 1/2 of the dressing. It keeps and is good to use later on other salads.)

Bon appetit!
