Delicious salad with crispy romaine lettuce, juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy bacon, homemade croutons, and a creamy basil dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 pound bacon
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 4 slices French bread, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 pound romaine lettuce - rinsed, dried, and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
Instructions:
  • In a large deep skillet, crisp up the bacon over medium-high heat until perfectly browned. Remove, crumble, and set aside, keeping 2 tablespoons of the delicious drippings for later.
  • Whisk together the reserved bacon drippings, mayonnaise, vinegar, and basil in a small bowl and let the dressing stand at room temperature, covered.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, coat the bread pieces with salt, pepper, and oil. Cook and toss until golden brown.
  • Combine romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, and crunchy croutons in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well to coat everything evenly.
