Hearty Caesar Salad

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped, or more to taste
• 1 pasteurized egg
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 pound bacon
• 1 head romaine lettuce, torn
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 6 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 (6 ounce) package croutons

Directions

Blend mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, egg, black pepper, and seasoned salt in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate for flavors to blend.

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.

Mix romaine lettuce, bacon, onion, mushrooms, and croutons in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat.
