Craisins Salad

This is one of the best salads that we have ever had. It is certain to become a new favorite. We make it all the time for almost any function that we need to bring food to. It makes a ton, so when we are making it for just us and a few others, I always half the recipe.

1 head red leaf lettuce
1 head green leaf lettuce
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 (8-ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8-ounce) package shredded Parmesan cheese
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 (8-ounce) package Craisins
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 recipe Craisins Salad Dressing (see below)

Break red and green leaf lettuce into pieces. Shred iceberg lettuce. Toss together with the other ingredients just before serving. Pass dressing with salad.
