Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
- In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it's crispy, turning as necessary to ensure even cooking (about 6-8 minutes).
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the chopped onion and crumbled bacon to the lettuce in the salad bowl.
- Scatter the chopped hard-boiled eggs over the top.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure even distribution of the ingredients and the dressing.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Bacon and Hard-Boiled Egg Romaine Salad!
Tips:
- For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then cover and let them sit off the heat for 10-12 minutes before cooling in ice water.
- To make sure your bacon is crispy and not greasy, cook it in the oven on a rack over a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
- Try adding a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or some grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
- Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar to enhance the taste of your dressing. Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic or red wine vinegar work particularly well.
There you have it! A delicious and healthy Bacon and Hard-Boiled Egg Romaine Salad that's quick to prepare and sure to be a hit.
