Hearts of Romaine Salad
recipe and photograph created by www.finedinings.com




Serves 2

1 hearts of Romaine lettuce
small amount of salt to taste
Balsamic Glaze (available at Trader Joe's)
2 small wedges aged Stilton cheese
2 tablespoons Spiced Pecans
2 very thin slices Italian Bread

Put bread slices on a sheet pan with a heavy pan on top to keep the slices flat as they bake at 300° for 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly toasted. 
This can be done ahead of time.  Carefully remove bread slices from the oven (they are fragile and can break easily).  

Cut lettuce in half lengthwise, add salt, drizzle with balsamic glaze.  Place on individual serving plates with the toasted bread slice, a cheese wedge and spiced pecans. 

Spiced Pecans
1/4 cup pecan pieces
1/4 teaspoon butter, melted
pinch garlic salt
1 - 2 drops Tabasco Sauce

Mix ingredients together; spread in a single layer on baking sheet.  Broil for 1 - 3 minutes, do not burn.

Wine recommendation: Sauvignon Blanc
