This is a lovely salad. We love the bacon and parmesan combination with the romaine. The dressing is perfect for this. Thanks for sharing this, Melba Stark. It's a winner.

I live in Chandler, Arizona- the desert! We tend to grill everything, even the Thanksgiving turkey. My husband and I enjoy trying new recipes, but they cannot be complicated, we've got two busy boys. My favorite cookbook currently is Taste of Home, Annual winners, 2004. Each year my in-laws get us the subscriptions to the Taste of Home and Quick cooking. I do enjoy all foods, and my all time favorite cookbook is the Junior League Reflections in the Sun, it's several years old.
