Christmas Salad

Ingredients:

1 head iceberg lettuce
1 bunch romaine lettuce
1 bunch spinach
1/2 lb. swiss cheese, grated
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 pomegranate or can of mandarin oranges or dried cranberries (craisins)

Dressing :

1 3/4 tsp. poppy seeds
3/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup oil
1 T. dry mustard
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 sliced red onion

Directions:

Make dressing and let onions marinate for a few hours or even overnight. Toss salad with dressing right before serving.

Notes and tips:

*Pomegranates make this salad so festive. Cut the pomegranate in half and soak in water. If you've never used a pomegranate, you use the little red berries inside the pomegranate.
* You can buy a bag of already cooked and crumbled bacon for cheap either by the dressings or on the spice aisle....don't remember which.
*to make it even more simple, use one kind of lettuce.
*If you don't have time to make the dressing, you can never go wrong with Brianna's Poppyseed dressing. It would be wonderful on this salad.
