Ingredients
 

Salad:

  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 8 strips bacon
  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 2 stalks curly kale (stems removed)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup croutons (coarsely chopped)

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 - 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Add the bacon to a cold skillet and fry until crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and allow to drain, then chop the bacon into small pieces.
  • In a dry skillet, toast the slivered almonds for a few minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant. Cool.
  • Chop the kale and romaine into thin strips. In a bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, cheeses, croutons, nuts, and bacon.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and garlic. Pour the oil slowly into the mixture, whisking constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
