Recipe courtesy Guy Fieri

Ingredients
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 heads romaine lettuce, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the grill to high heat.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saute pan over high heat. Add the onions
and bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy. To the same pan add the balsamic
vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and stir to combine. Remove from heat
and set aside.

Brush the romaine lettuce with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, place on
the grill cut side down, and quickly sear.

Serve the lettuce, cut side up, and drizzle the balsamic dressing over the
lettuce. Sprinkle with blue cheese and garnish with cracked black pepper.
