Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the salad bowl along with the Swiss cheese and croutons.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top for a finishing touch.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy!
