B.L.T. Salad

Ingredients
1/2 pound bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
4 medium slices French bread, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound romaine lettuce-rinsed, dried, and torn into bite size pieces
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered

Method
Place bacon in a large, deep, skillet. Cook over medium high heat until
evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the
drippings. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved bacon drippings,
mayonnaise, vinegar and basil and let dressing stand, covered, at room
temperature. In a large skillet over medium heat, toss the bread pieces with
the salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil, continue tossing and cook over medium
low heat until golden brown. In a large bowl mix together the romaine,
tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss
well.
