There are no tomatoes in this picture but there is a good reason for that. I don’t like them but if you do add them for sure. I made this salad for myself and my youngest sister on the weekend; we both loved it. I was out of avocado so I added pecans but you could do either.  Avocado would have been my preference if I had it.

I found Hotchkiss romaine at Amaranth. If you can get your hands on Hotchkiss lettuce in Calgary it’s worth it. It’s so fresh and crisp that it takes this salad to the next level.  I added fresh dates to the salad because I had bought some for an appetizer earlier that day and they were amazing. Dates and bacon go so well together. Bacon Lettuce Salad with Hardboiled Eggs
