Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pkg of romaine lettuce or 1 head of romaine
1 good size tomato cut up
1 red onion halved nd sliced
1- 2 soft avocados
1/2 pkg bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
1 pkg crumbled feta cheese
1 lemon (this is to rub the avocado with)
1 pkg croutons if desired
DRESSING
3/4 c olive oil
1/4 c red wine vinegar
4 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1-2 clove garlic chopped

Steps:

1. Make the dressing mix all ingredients in a shake bottle, and let sit a few hours in fridge before using or even better overnight. I think the dressing is best the next day. It gives the garlic time to infuse the oil and vinegar. Also the dressing is delicious on other salads. If refrigerating overnight. Take bottle of dressing out of fridge two hours before using. Some of the oil may have solidified. Let oil soften. Shake well to dress salad. The reason for refrigerating is the raw garlic in it.
2. Fry the bacon until crisp.
3. Chop and rinse the romaine lettuce and dry it.
4. Chop avocado and rub with lemon so it doesn't turn color.
5. Chop the red onion and dice the tomato.
6. Combine all vegetables and avocado in serving bowl. Sprinkle with bacon and feta cheese. Dress with the red wine dressing. Add croutons if wanted.
