Grilled Romaine with Blue Cheese Bacon Vinaigrette

I LOVE this SALAD! The moment I saw Guy Fieri make it in 2007,  I knew it was a must have, and a keeper right away! I have made this over and over.  At home, on camping trips, at neighbors houses, anywhere and everywhere! Give it a try, if you have never grilled salad before it is quick and easy and such a change of pace from the everyday salad!

INGREDIENTS
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 heads of romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
Pepper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill to high heat.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a sauce pan over high heat (stove top).  Add the onion and bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy. Working quickly, add the balsamic vinegar and another one tablespoon of the olive oil and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside. Brush the romaine lettuce with the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil, place on the grill cut side down and quickly sear. Serve the lettuce, cut side up, and drizzle with balsamic dressing over the lettuce and sprinkle with blue cheese and pepper!

Enjoy,
