Vinegared romaine with sour cream, bacon and herbs from Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes (page 83) by Alison Roman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Yum-town, my favorite recipe from this book. Sometimes I make a vegetarian version and just sub avocado and some smoked sea salt for the bacon.

    Thanks to @KathyCookinginSeattle for the note, which reminded me that I have always wanted to try this salad. It was delicious. It would be perfect for a dinner party. We served it on a big platter and it was beautiful as well as delicious!

    This salad is my new favorite. It’s all I had for dinner today and I’m doing it again tomorrow. I can’t stop eating it! Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe it.

    I've made this salad a bunch of times and I love it. It looks (and tastes) fancy though the effort is small, and it has a really satisfying crunch.

    I cut this in 1/2 and made a few modifications re my fridge contents (currently avoiding the grocery store unless ABSOLUTELY necessary) and re some of our personal tastes. I mixed Greek yogurt with salt, pepper AND a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice before smearing it on our plates. Chopped parsley & chives went on next and then I divided 2 good sized handfuls of chopped romaine between us. I then added the chopped crispy bacon ,the lightly pickled shallots AND some grated Parmesan. We both said “fancy!” for just us and then (after a couple of minutes) said “this is delicious”,

    Fantastic with the shallot vinegar. Knife & fork presentation caused some frustrations so we'll chop the leaves in the future.
