Ingredients
  • 4 ounces thick-cut bacon (4 to 6 slices), cut into pieces
  • 2 heads romaine, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into ½-inch strips
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • ½ cups freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • ½ cups freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese
  • 1½ cups Cheese and Garlic Croutons
  • ½ - ¾ cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp and browned on both sides, 8-10 minutes each. Use a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs to transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels (the bacon can be cooked and cooled in advance. Some say a few hours, I made mine the day before).
  2. Combine lettuce, bacon and cheeses in a large bowl. (Note: If you plan to save some salad for leftovers, place about half in a separate container and do not mix with croutons or dressing until just before serving).
  3. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat just before serving. Add croutons and toss again. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.
