Recipe

To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend to combine. Set aside until ready to use.

To make the salad, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Line a metal tray with paper towels. Drain the bacon. Cool, crumble, and set aside.

Remove the root end from the lettuce, and cut the head into 4 wedges. Place one wedge each on four individual serving dishes. Scatter the mixed greens around each wedge. Dress each wedge with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Garnish each with the crumbled bacon, cheese, onion, and scallions.
