Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) container blue cheese
- 1 (14-ounce) container high quality vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
- 4 small heads iceberg lettuce
- 2 cups diced heirloom tomatoes
- 4 strips fried bacon
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
To prepare blue cheese ice cream, combine the blue cheese, vanilla ice cream, brown sugar, and hot sauce together in a medium bowl. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until frozen.
Slice a1/4-inch off the bottom of each head of lettuce to allow it to sit flat like a bowl. Slice 1-inch off the top and remove the middle leaves of lettuce to create a bowl. Fill each 'bowl' with the blue cheese ice cream, diced tomatoes, and one strip of fried bacon.
Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and cracked black pepper, to taste, in a small bowl and drizzle the dressing over the salad.
