I used Romain lettuce and left out the bacon bits. Very easy to make and delicous.

This salad was absolutely wonderful. I made the dressing the day before and let it sit in the fridge. I will certainly make this one again. I especially enjoyed the salad greens -- a nice change from the head lettuce, red leaf lettuce, etc.

I have to agree, I too found this to be a fantastic salad! Likely because it has all the ingredients I am very partial too. Using both the almonds and the sesame seeds adds great crunch and taste to this salad. Will be making this often with all those lush garden greens from the garden.
