Ingredients

6 slices bacon cooked; see note 2
3 romaine hearts dark outer leaves removed as necessary and halved lengthwise

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese sub with gorgonzola, roquefort or your favorite cheese
green goddess dressing see note 3
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives for serving

Instructions

Line a plate with paper towels. Place the bacon in the paper towels and blot to remove excess grease, then chop or crumble it when it's cool enough to handle.
6 slices bacon
Place the halved romaine hearts on a platter. Drizzle each with dressing, then top with the blue cheese, bacon and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a bit more dressing, then season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with the chopped chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pro tip: Cook and crumble the bacon and prepare the dressing in advance to make salad assembly go even more quickly.
Cook the bacon using your favorite method. Try my air fryer bacon recipe for perfectly crispy bacon with no messy spatters!
Nutrition information doesn't include the dressing as that has been calculated in a separate post.
For best results, don't assemble the salads until a few minutes before serving in order to keep the romaine lettuce as crisp as possible.
Want to make this even easier to eat? Make a chopped wedge salad by chopping the romaine hearts and proceed as directed.
