In these rainy days a good homemade soup is just the ticket. Sometime this soup is just not enough. This salad is just the ticket to go with that soup. During the summer it is also hardy enough to be a main course. Add a hard roll or french bread and you have a great dinner.
You will need:
1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 cups chopped red onion
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 cups croutons or 4 slices white bread ( if making your own croutons)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter ( for homemade croutons)
6 slices bacon
For the dressing:
1/2 cup mayo
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Combine lettuce, red onion, and tomatoes in a large bowl and set aside. Dice bacon and place in small fry pan. Cook over medium heat until crispy. If making your own croutons add bread to a second fry pan with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. In a small mixing bowl whisk together mayo, maple syrup mustard and lemon juice. Combine salad greens, cooked bacon and croutons. Add dressing and toss lightly. As you can see this is not a fancy salad, the dressing really makes it special.
