Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Salad:
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Dressing:
  4. Cut the top 1/2-inch off the head of garlic. Put the garlic in an ovenproof dish and drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Cook until garlic is soft, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Halve the head of garlic widthwise. Press on the garlic to press out the cloves, and then put the garlic in a blender. Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, Essence, salt, parsley, chives, and zest and pulse until blended. Set aside.
  5. Salad:
  6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  7. Put the bread slices on a baking sheet, lightly brush the top with olive oil and rub the cut side of the garlic over them. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
  8. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  9. Meanwhile, remove the outer leaves from the romaine hearts and rinse. Chop these leaves into bite-size pieces and spin dry. Halve the hearts through to make 4 wedges. Rinse under cold running water and shake to air dry.
  10. Divide the wedges among 4 plates. Mound some of the chopped romaine on top. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the dressing over each salad and top with the bacon, croutons, and tomatoes. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
  12. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  13. 2 tablespoons salt
  14. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  15. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  16. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  17. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  18. 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
  19. 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  20. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  21. Yield: about 2/3 cup
