Grilled BLT Salad with Blue Cheese

Grilling sturdy greens gives them a savory smokiness, which plays beautifully into this riff on the classic BLT.

Grilled BLT Salad with Blue Cheese

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 4 hearts of romaine
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves, roughly torn
  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Instructions

Whisk together olive oil, vinegar and garlic. Cut 3 of the romaine hearts in half lengthwise and brush with 1 tablespoon dressing. Place halved romaine cut-side down on a medium-hot grill and cook for 5 minutes, until caramelized. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop along with the remaining raw head. In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, basil and tomatoes with remaining dressing. Top with crumbled bacon and blue cheese.

Pair this salad with a glass of the Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc or Bonterra Pinot Noir (which is the perfect wine for the smokey bacon).

Inspired by these sweet moments from @readtealeaves. Wine glass in hand. Pasta boiling. Kids playing. Spring at our door. Does it get any better?
