CHEDDAR-ALMOND LETTUCE SALAD
Sugared almonds and a honey-mustard dressing make this salad a real standout. In fact, I keep slivered almonds in my freezer just so I can whip it up for those spur-of-the-moment special occasions! For more nutrition, color or variety, I sometimes add broccoli and tomatoes. --Julia Musser, Lebanon, Pennsylvania

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but this salad was a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but it turned out inedible.
