BLT Chopped Salad

This is not normally the kind of meal I would recommend for a cold winter's night, but it sounded so good we had to give it a try. This will be EXCELLENT in summer. Can't wait to make it with fresh corn and homegrown tomatoes. Goes together quickly.

Ingredients:
~1/2 lb. bacon, cut into small strips
~4 cups chopped romaine lettuce (butter lettuce would also be a great choice)

For the vinaigrette:
~1/4 cup olive oil
