Bacon Swiss Salad

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp minced roasted garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pkg mixed salad greens
1 large ripe tomato, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup Fresh Gourmet Crispy Onions (french fried onions)

Combine the frist 5 ingredients in a salad cruet, shake until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve. Combine the greens, tomato, bacon, swiss and crispy onions. Shake the dressing and serve with the salad. Adapted from allrecipe.com's "That Good Salad".

OK...the dressing was some of the NASTIEST stuff I've ever tried on a salad. Thankfully, I tried it before I ruined my salad with it. I was going to use bottled dressing, but John said he could "fix it". He added apple cider vinegar, honey and some Blackberry Brandy which definitely improved the flavor.

The actual salad was very good, but I'll use another dressing next time. I really loved those Crispy Onions in it!
