Meghan's Salad

I call this Meghan's salad, because she made it, I loved it, and she gave me her recipe! I make it a lot. Meghan is an amazing cook and always has killer salad recipes.

Salad:
Croutons
Lettuce-chopped
1 cup or more swiss cheese (I sometimes substitute Italian blend shredded cheese)
Toasted almonds- as much as you like, the more the better
1 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 pound bacon
1/3 cup freshly grated parm cheese
Throw everything together, add what you like. Even grilled chicken is good added to this.

Dressing:
1/4 - 3/4 olive oil
juice of fresh lemon
3 cloves of fresh garlic
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
dash of splenda or sugar (opt)
