ROMAINE "WEDGE" SALAD WITH HOT MAPLE BACON DRESSING
A warm dressing that is sweet, salty, smoky, sour, and... BACON-Y!
Author: Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips
For the dressing:
2 c water
¼ c real maple syrup (or ⅓ c sugar)
2 T cornstarch
1 egg
½ t salt
¼-1/3 c cider vinegar
6 slices well-cooked, crumbled bacon (I used center cut. Regular bacon or turkey bacon works fine, as well)
For each salad:
Half of a romaine heart
5 or 6 grape tomatoes, halved
Freshly ground black pepper
For the dressing:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the water, syrup, cornstarch, egg, and salt.
Heat over medium low heat to a simmer, then cook, whisking frequently, until it is hot and starts to thicken.
Increase the heat and allow to boil slightly to thicken completely.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar and crumbled bacon.
Serve while still warm, or reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
For each salad:
Lay the romaine heart on a plate, cut side up.
Top with the tomatoes, pepper, and a few spoonfuls of the warm dressing.
