Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Make the Dressing: Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined, or add them to a jar, cover, and shake vigorously to blend. I use my FAVORITE Salad Dressing Shaker HERE. The dressing is best if chilled for at least 30 minutes before serving.

2. 2

   Assemble: Add the Romaine lettuce to a large bowl, then top with the salad ingredients. Hold the bacon and croutons if expecting leftovers and serve them on the side.

3. 3

   Add the Dressing: If you're not expecting leftovers, drizzle the salad with the desired amount of dressing and toss. Alternatively, dress individual salads. Dig in!
