1
Prepare Romaine Lettuce
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the Romaine lettuce. Rinse the head under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the Romaine lettuce in half lengthwise to create wedges.
2
Cook Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3
Slice Red Onion
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Set aside.
4
Prepare Blue Cheese
Crumble the blue cheese into small pieces if not already crumbled.

5
Mix Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

6
Assemble the Salad
On a serving plate, place one Romaine wedge. Drizzle with the dressing, then top with sliced red onion, crumbled blue cheese, and crispy bacon.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while chilled, allowing guests to enjoy the crunchy texture of the Romaine and the bold flavors of the toppings.
