Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 oz Roquefort cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the 1.5 lb potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized chunks.

  2. 2

    Cook the 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, then crumble.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

  4. 4

    Add the warm potatoes, crumbled bacon, 2 oz crumbled Roquefort, and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes to the dressing. Toss gently to coat.

  5. 5

    Just before serving, fold in the 2 cups lettuce leaves. Serve immediately while the potatoes are still warm.
