My family loves salad. Especially this new one. It's fresh and fun. Sometimes it's the little things (like leaving your lettuce in a wedge or slicing your carrots paper thin) that give familiar foods a little extra something.
INGREDIENTS:
24 oz bacon, crisp and crumbled
1 head iceberg lettuce (cut in wedges)
10 carrots, thinly sliced
6 radishes, also thin
1 container cherry tomatoes (left whole)
4 green onions (chopped to the chive)
DRESSING:
1/4 C. Olive Oil
1/4 C. red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
First, set your oven to 400'F. Lay bacon strips individually across a cookie sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Measure out ingredients for the dressing into a bottle or jar and give it a good shake. Prepare veggies and place them in separate bowls. (This step is really important to the members of the family who don't like all of the above veggies or who regularly use the phrase, "Mom! She's touching me!) Take the bacon out and place on paper towels to drain some of the grease. Crumble into a bowl.
Give that dressing one more shake! Now, pull out your pretty plates. Place a single wedge off-center and add (in this order) carrots, radishes, bacon, green onions, and tomatoes. It's pretty, eh? Drizzle with dressing and dig in!
