Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 head romaine lettuce
2 tomatoes
1/2 red onion (diced)
1 bunch green onion (chopped)
2 avocados (chopped)
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
3 slices of day old French bread
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
garlic powder

pepper
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare salad by chopping vegetables. Toast slivered almonds in oven at 350 for 3-4 minutes, keep an eye on them, they burn very easily!
  • Combine all dressing ingredients and use whisk to stir.
  • To prepare bread crumbs, cut bread up in small squares, sprinkle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt and fresh cracked pepper. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until toasted.
  • Before serving, add the dressing to the salad as well as the croutons and toasted almonds.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. I also like to add a handful of chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
