Chantell's Christmas Salad

1 head lettuce
1 head green leaf lettuce
1 head red leaf lettuce
8 oz sliced almonds, lightly browned
1 lb bacon fried crisp and crumbled
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Wash, dry and tear lettuce into bite-size pieces. Combine other ingredients and lay on top. Mix right before serving.

Dressing:
1/2 cup chopped red onion
4 tsp dried mustard
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups sugar
3 tsp salt
2 cups oil

Place all ingredients, except oil, in blender.  While blender is mixing, slowly add the oil.

Seriously this salad is sooo delicious.  Obviously it makes a ton with three heads of lettuce so if you are making it for a smaller family size, I would quarter the recipe.  No matter what, you have to try the dressing...it is AMAZING!!!

Jamaican Jerk Pork

2 1/2 lbs pork

Seasoning:
1/2 onion
1/2 cup green onion
2-3 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2-1 habanero pepper

Jerk marinade:
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground pimento
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp pepper

Rub in seasoning on pork. Leave for 1/2 an hour.  Rub on jerk marinade and leave to marinate for at least 5 hours (overnight is best). Prepare grill and barbeque pork until cooked or put in hot oven at 400* for about 20 minutes. Lower temperature and allow to cook slowly until done.

We normally chop our PORK into small pieces before we season and marinate.  The next day we skewer the meat with veggies and grill it up for kabobs.  Very yummy and authentic!
