Years ago, my dad used to take me to this little diner near our home. I may have been young enough that I couldn't read or navigate the menu, so I remember that he always ordered for the same thing for me; a BLT and a Yoo-hoo.
Preheat your grill. Slice the head of Romain lettuce in half. Brush each half with oil and sprinkle with salt. With grill on “high”, place Romain halves, cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the leaves begin to char and wilt a bit. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook bacon according to package directions. I carefully cooked mine on the grill, but use a frying pan on the stove if you prefer.
Grill bread on “high” heat. When nicely browned, remove from grill and rub with garlic clove. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little coarse salt. Cool and cut bread into cubes.
To make Quick Creamy Dressing, whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl.
Assemble by placing lettuce, cut-side up on a plate. Place tomatoes on top and around. Add croutons then crumble bacon into chunks and sprinkle on top. Drizzle dressing over everything and dig in!
