1
Prepare the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the Bibb lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
3
Prepare the Tomato
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. Add them to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
4
Add the Blue Cheese
Crumble the blue cheese over the top of the salad mixture in the bowl.
5
Add the Bacon
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the salad.

6
Mix the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
7
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the Dijon vinaigrette over the salad mixture in the bowl. Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
