Tripps Greens 'n' Grille Salad

1 quart mixed salad greens (iceberg, romaine, leaf, red cabbage)
1/4 cup fresh baked croutons
1/3 cup mixed cheese (cheddar & Monterey jack)
2 tbsp. diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. chopped bacon
1 tbsp. green onions
1 tbsp. toasted almonds
6 oz. grilled-marinated chicken breast - sliced

Mix first seven ingregients. Place almost-sliced chicken breast on top. Garnish with two small squares of cheese toast. Serve with your favorite dressing. (Ours is not only honey mustard, but extra honey mustard!)

PS: I modify recipe by omitting the red cabbage and green onions. To each his own. It's superb any way you like it.
