Here&#8217;s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mini Romaine Lettuce<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Crisp and slightly sweet, the perfect base for soaking up that creamy dressing. You can also use Romaine hearts or swap in iceberg lettuce for a classic wedge-style version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shallots<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Thinly sliced and pan-fried until golden and crispy. Their mild, caramelised flavour adds a savoury crunch to every bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoked Bacon<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Salty and crisp, cooked until just golden. For a twist, try thinly sliced prosciutto crisped in the pan for a more delicate finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cherry Tomatoes<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Juicy and sweet, these add a burst of freshness that balances the richness of the dressing and bacon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chives<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Delicately herbaceous with a mild onion flavour that lifts the salad and ties everything together. Freshly chopped for best flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blue Cheese<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Crumbled into the dressing and sprinkled over the salad. See below for tips on selecting the perfect variety to suit your taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toasted Walnuts<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Add depth, warmth, and crunch. Their rich flavour pairs beautifully with blue cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional: Pear<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Diced and perfectly ripe, this soft, sweet fruit is a natural partner for blue cheese and walnuts \u2014 a classic trio that adds an elegant finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Blue Cheese Dressing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White wine vinegar, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44q0siq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">olive oil,<\/a> crumbled blue cheese, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
