Simple salads are the best meal for the warmer months, in my opinion. And even though this salad is simple, it packs so much flavor. The bacon (thick-cut is key) and blue cheese are a perfect marriage and the pear adds a special sweet touch. Serve this alfresco style with a cold glass of white wine and enjoy these precious sunny days!
1. Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Place butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter and top with the remaining salad toppings. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve.
