Atomic Salad

In the bottom of your salad bowl, mix: 3 lg. cloves garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 c. oil (either all salad or mix salad and olive oil)

Mix together well.  Tear 1 bunch fresh spinach leaves and/or other lettuce.  Use about 1 1/2 to 2 bunches in all.  You can include at this point cauliflowerettes, broccoli, celery and carrots.  Cover without tossing until serving time.  Just prior to dinner, add cherry tomato halves, radish slices, mushroom slices and croutons. Now toss and toss and toss.  The more the better.  Now stand back and wait for the compliments.  The greens are crisp and the dressing wonderful.  This can be as simple as greens, tomatoes and croutons or very elaborate, adding whatever you prefer.  Some suggestions might be marinated artichoke hearts, Feta cheese, bacon bits, chopped eggs.
