Delish! Made with Dole Mediterranean Salad mix since this is more readily available. Like the lettuces suggested in the recipe, the texture of these lettuces can stand up to the bacon and blue cheese.

Bitter greens like radicchio and endive provide a pleasant counterpoint to the sweet, slightly smoky dressing, while wispy, curly frisée gives the dish body. You can prepare the salad dressing up to a day ahead and reheat it to serve. But don't dress the salad until the last minute so the greens stay crisp.
