    4 c Shredded romaine lettuce
    4 c Baby spinach leaves
    6 md Red and/or yellow heirloom
    - tomatoes; cored, quartered

    MMMMM------------------DILLED AVOCADO DRESSING-----------------------
    1 Ripe avocado; halved, seeded
    - peeled, mashed
    1/2 c Mayonnaise
    1/2 c Dairy sour cream
    3 tb Fresh squeezed lemon juice
    3 tb Snipped fresh dill
    1/4 c Milk
    1/2 ts Garlic salt

    MMMMM-----------------GARLICKY FOCACCIA CROUTONS----------------------
    3 c (1/2") cubes garlic
    - foccacia
    2 tb Olive oil

    MAKE THE DRESSING: In a blender or food processor combine
    the avocado, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, fresh
    dill, milk, garlic salt, and ground black pepper. Cover
    and blend or process until smooth.

    MAKE THE CROUTONS: Set oven @ 300ºF/150ºC.

    In a large bowl combine foccacia and olive oil; toss to
    coat. Spread bread cubes evenly in a 15" x 10" x 1" baking
    pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until cubes are crisp,
    stirring once; cool. If desired, store croutons in an
    airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    MAKE THE SALAD: In a very large skillet cook bacon in
    batches over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper
    towels; when cool, coarsely crumble or chop bacon. Set
    aside.

    In the bottom of a 3 to 4 quart glass bowl, arrange half
    of the Garlicky Focaccia Croutons. Top with half of the
    romaine and half of the spinach. Top with half of the
    tomato slices and half of the bacon. Spread half of the
    Dilled Avocado Dressing over the bacon, sealing dressing
    to the edge of the bowl. Repeat layers, ending with the
    dressing. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for
    up to 8 hours.

    Makes: 12 servings
