Caesar Salad

• Cook bacon until slightly crisp, but not over cooked.  Cool and chop into small pieces.
• Wash and rip romain lettuce into bite size pieces.
• Some people add croutons, but since I don't like them, I don't add them!
• Sprinkle with fresh grated parmasean cheese.
• Toss with dressing.  Serve immediately.
