Castello® Blue Grilled Romaine with Bacon
Ingredients
6 servings
olive oil
6 strips extra thick sliced bacon, cut into 1/4” pieces
balsamic vinegar
worcestershire sauce
dijon mustard
3 heads romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried and cut into halves lengthwise salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
Preparation
Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate; set aside.
Allow bacon drippings to cool and reserve 1 tablespoon.
Transfer reserved drippings into a bowl and whisk together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard; set aside.
Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto lettuce halves.
Heat indoor grill or bbq over high heat.
This will encourage a char without wilting the lettuce too much.
Place the romaine halves flat side down on the grill until they have light char marks - approximately 1 minute.
To assemble the salad, top each Romaine half with bacon and Castello® Extra Creamy Danish Blue crumbles, and drizzle on the balsamic dressing.
