DIRECTIONS

2:
Tear the cos or romaine lettuce carefully into bite-size pieces.
|

To make the dressing, heat the ingredients together in a small pan over a low heat until smooth and creamy.

4:
Toss the lettuce with the remaining oil and the lemon juice, season, then divide among four plates. Heap the warm apple and bacon on top, then drizzle over the dressing.
