ShayLynn's Salad

My sister in law ShayLynn made this salad and I missed tasting it. Elise said it was her favorite. ShayLynn was nice enough to share the recipe and now we make it all the time. It's great with grilled chicken for dinner.

Salad:
1 -2 heads romaine- shredded
Grilled chicken or rotisserie
Sugar Almonds: Mix 1/2-1 cup sugar with 2 T. water. Stir in 8 oz. slivered almonds and toast in oven or in a pan.
1 pkg. bacon, cooked and broken
1 pkg. craisins
1-2 cups grated motz. cheese

Dressing:
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup sugar or splenda
1/2 cup oil
1/2 T. dry mustard
1 red onion- sliced or minced
S&P
Mix dressing and adjust sugar and vinegar and seasonings to taste. Add in onion. This recipe makes a lot, but it's easy to half. If you are like me, you can add more nuts etc.. too!
