Bacon-Swiss Tossed Salad

Total Time Prep: 10 min. + chilling

Yield 6-8 servings

THIS RECIPE came from a cookbook compiled by the women of our church in my hometown of Chico, California. It's pretty and tasty. Best of all, it can be put together a couple of hours before serving. When it's time, a simple toss and it's ready. -Cathee Bethel, Philomath, Oregon
