First make the dressing, unless you're going to use a bottled blue cheese dressing. I know you're going to love this one though- give it a try!

Add the walnuts to a pan over medium-high heat. Toast for a minute or two. When the become fragrant, it's time to add in the butter and pinch of salt.

Let the butter melt and then stir occasionally until the butter browns. If the pan starts to smoke, remove from the heat immediately and allow to cool, stirring constantly.

Set aside to cool.

Core the lettuce head (suggestion on how to do this easily listed above in the post), and slice in half, then into wedges.

Add each wedge to a plate. Add the tomatoes to each plate.

Cover the wedges with some blue cheese dressing. The dressing acts as the glue to keep the toppings stuck to the salad. Top with the walnuts, shallots, chopped bacon and crumbed blue cheese.

Admire your work and dig in. Happy eating!
