Smoked Salmon and Cheese Salad

This attractive entree goes together quickly and offers some delicious surprises: succulent smoked salon, piquant Gorgonzola cheese, and crunchy nuts and croutons. For variety, substitute other fish, such as smoked trout or sardines, for the salmon.

5 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
2/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 1/2 cups purchased plain or seasoned croutons
12 cups (about 10 oz.) bite sized pieces of romaine lettuce, rinsed and crisped
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup salted roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
