Ingredients

1 petite artisan romaine lettuce head
4 pieces maple brown sugar candied bacon
3-4 campari tomatoes
2 oz blue cheese of choice
1 oz red onion
2 tablespoons jalapeño ranch dressing

Instructions

Prepare bacon, and assemble salad dressing while the bacon is cooking to complete this recipe in 35 minutes. Then assemble as follows:
Cut off the bottom of one petite artisan romaine lettuce head, then cut vertically along the spine, down the center of the entire head. Place both halves on a dinner plate.
Thinly shave red onion with a mandolin or slice very thin with a knife. Place the desired amount of red onion across the lettuce.
Arrange 3 to 4 campari tomatoes, that have been quartered onto the plate.
Add 2 oz of crumbled blue cheese. This can be soft or hard blue cheese. Soft will be a bit messier to distribute, but more mild in flavor. A firmer blue will carry more intense flavor and crumble easier.
Using kitchen shears, cut 4 pieces of candied bacon into bite size pieces and garnish on top of the lettuce.
Add 2 tablespoons (or desired amount) of jalapeño ranch dressing over the top of your salad compilation and serve with a fork and steak knife for easy cutting. Enjoy!
