Ingredients
6 ounces bacon, chopped
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 romaine hearts, cut in half
Directions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 15 minutes.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate, reserving the fat in the pan.
- Meanwhile, stir together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper in a small bowl.
- Brush the romaine hearts with the reserved bacon fat and grill until just charred on both sides, about 2 minutes. Serve the grilled lettuce drizzled with the dressing and sprinkled with the bacon.
