(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 4-6 slices of bacon
  • 3 romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. sherry vinegar
  • 6 tbsp. freshly grated or shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange bacon on sheet in a single layer. Bake until bacon begins to crisp, about 7 minutes. Using tongs, turn bacon and continue baking until crisp, about 7 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil grate.

  3. Brush cut side of each lettuce half with 1/2 tsp olive oil.

  4. Grill lettuce halves, cut sides down, until slightly caramelized outsider but still cool inside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, cut sides up.

  5. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and remaining 2 tbsp. oil in a small bowl until well combined. Crumbled cooled bacon, then sprinkle it and cheese over lettuce. Drizzle with dressing.
