The Lion House – Sarah’s Salad

Sarah’s Salad from Utah’s Lion House restaurant uses crisp iceberg lettuce, peas, bacon, green onions, and swiss cheese tossed in a simple, sweet dressing.  

Back in February I attended a blog conference, and a smaller group of us bloggers went to The Lion House Pantry for dinner together one night. It was catered in one of their banquet rooms, and there was a set menu, but everything we had was super delicious and totally reminds you of a great home cooked meal! The first course we had was this Sarah’s Salad, which is so stinkin’ simple, but so tasty!

The salad is made with iceberg lettuce, but you can add a more nutrient dense green leaf to it. It also has cold, crisp peas, pieces of swiss cheese, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, and a super simple sweet and creamy dressing.

I just love a salad with bacon, cheese, and peas! Now let’s talk about the dressing. The dressing is not meant to overpower the other ingredients, but to compliment them with its simplicity and lightly sweet flavor. Perfection!

This Sarah’s Salad is a great, light salad for a side dish paired with any of your favorite Spring dinners. We’ve already started grilling, and this salad is fabulous next to some grilled chicken and veggie skewers. Mmm-mmm!

Think about making this salad for your next potluck or Spring/Summer gathering! It’s a good one!
