Butter Lettuce Salad with Hazelnuts and Bacon Bits

white balsamic vinegar

olive oil

chives

salt and black pepper

butter

bacon

eggs,

hazelnuts,

Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled

Whisk to combine the vinegar, oil, chives and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.

Toss the lettuce with the dressing in a large salad bowl. Divide the lettuce between 2 large bowls or plates. Divide the bacon, eggs, nuts and cheese between the 2 plates, layering them in that order.

I made this salad to go with the Spicy Arrabiata and Penne Sunday night.  The dressing is so refreshing and has only three ingredients (plus salt and pepper).  I couldn't find butter lettuce at my usual grocery stores so I subbed with baby Romaine, which probably didn't stand up as well as butter lettuce, but no one at my table minded.  I had pre-cooked my bacon earlier in the week so that step made it even quicker. So refreshing and delicious.

We loved this salad!  I have put it in my "company worthy" file.  Next week when our friends are coming for dinner this is one of the dishes I will be serving.

I made this salad for my wife and we loved it. My small town store didn't have Butter Lettuce so I used Romaine. Amazing recipe.<br />
