This is a salad that my sister Nancy makes, it is sooooo good, very light, and very easy especially if company is coming-all you have to do is toss it. The recipe she gave me is credited to Barbara Overmyer Johanson(Mrs. Robert).
Atomic Salad
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup salad oil
Fresh Spinach
2 different kinds of lettuce
cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges
croutons
Combine first 7 ingredients in bottom of large salad bowl. Taste for additional garlic or dry mustard. It should be spicy, and extra dry mustard usually does the trick. Place lettuce and spinach on top of mixture. Do not toss. When ready to serve, put in croutons and tomatoes and toss. This recipe can be prepared the day before. Cover and keep in refrigerator.
