For the life of me I can’t remember the reason for the name of this salad, but it is so simple and packs an amazing flavor. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the tang of the bleu cheese and the sweetness of the raisins is an incredible combination with one of my favorites – bacon!

• 1/2 lb bacon, cut horizontally and slowly fried until crispy
• 1 pkg bleu cheese, crumbled
• 1 head of cold iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/2 cup light vegetable salad oil
• dash of fresh ground pepper
• pinch of salt

Chill the bowl prior to starting this salad fo rat least 10 minutes. Fry the bacon until crisp, drain fat and cool on paper towels. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper in the bowl. Toss in the cheese and raisins and mix well.  Add the lettuce and bacon and serve immediately.
