Huge  Green Salad Recipe

3 heads of  lettuce- (can use any variations- romaine, red, iceburg,)a variety is good- torn
1 C. shredded swiss or mozzarella
1 C. Parmesan cheese, grated or pwd.)
1 C. bacon pieces
1 C. craisins
1 C. sliced almonds, toasted or candied
2 C croutons
*mandarin oranges, sliced strawberries, mushrooms
In a large serving bowl-
layer lettuce, cheese, bacon, craisins, repeat-- don't put croutons, madarin oranges, or strawberries in salad if you don't want it to wilt...
This salad should be put together right before serving- sometimes at home I  serve salad plain, with toppings in individual bowls, and let everyone build it their way!
Serve with a drizzle of Pink Dressing ( if serving to children,  offer ranch or Italian)
