One of my favorite salads my Grandma Mellen makes: the “Craisins Salad,” or as my Grandma calls it: “The Three Lettuce Salad!”
Complete with a complimentary dressing, this green salad HITS THE SPOT. It is the perfect combo of savory and sweet, and it makes a TON. Feel free to half it if you don’t have a crowd!
Crispy bacon, toasted almonds, shredded cheese– HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?!
