Made this for a Super Bowl party - lots of good comments. Used cherry tomatoes - they keep better in left over salad - but there wasn't much left over. In addition to the croutons, I used some tri-color tortilla strips to add some color.

I didn't have Canola oil so I used olive oil. It was very good. Everybody loved it.

I doubt this salad has only 257 mg of sodium with salt, swiss cheese and parmesan cheese.

I have made this salad at least 30-50 times over the last 10 or so years!! I make it almost exactly as listed and I'm always asked for the recipe. The only thing I've done different in the past is to add another head of romaine to compensate for the number of people were having. It's a large salad to begin with which is another reason I love this recipe! This one is a keeper!

This salad really is great! I wasn’t sure about the dressing until I added it to the salad and mixed it in good, no let downs with the recipe. I actually made it as our dinner and my daughter and husband loved it.

This is our go-to salad. We have it about once a week. I use microwave bacon & it’s super quick & delicious.

I made this salad for the first time and omitted almonds since they were optional! I just used bacon strips which were smoked and I really enjoyed this salad recipe plus the dressing! I thank you for this recipe, Betty Lamb!

Mmmmm I love this salad. I don't pour the dressing on if because my kids are so picky and they like to eat it without the dressing . I also put grape tomatoes on them instead of chopping up a tomato, once again, because my kiddo's are picky.

I made this for a family function and everyone liked it. I left out the almonds due to family preference.
