I had this dish at my friend Christie's house. Fabulous!
3 heads romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise. (please rinse and dry well, also)
1/2 pound of bacon, chopped, fried crisp, and drained.
3/4 cup chopped red onion
4 TBSP. good quality balsamic vinegar.
6 TBSP. olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
cracked black pepper
Pre-hear grill to high heat.
Saute onion in 2 TBSP. olive oil until carmelized. Add cooked bacon, another 2 TBSP. of oil and the balsamic vinegar.
Brush cut side of romaine with the rest of the olive oil. Place on grill, cut side down and quickly sear.
Serve lettuce cut side up by sprinkling with blue cheese, and spooning the bacon dressing over. Sprinkle with pepper.
