Cooking Tips: If there is no grater in the kitchen, buy already shredded cheese from the grocery store. The smaller the tomato, the easier it is to chop into tiny pieces. When removing lettuce leaves from the head, start at the sturdy stalk, cut through that part of the leaf and gently pull away to avoid rips or tears.

Ingredients

4-5 slices of bacon
8 slices of your favorite lunch meat or combination of meats
6 large lettuce leaves
1 cup of shredded cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
1 hardboiled egg, chopped
12-18 long chives
6 toothpicks
1/2 cup of your favorite dressing (i.e. Ranch, Blue Cheese, Thousand Island or Green Goddess)

Instructions

Cook bacon on medium high heat in a skillet. Cool and drain on paper towels.
Chop bacon and lunch meat and form an assembly line of ingredients.
Take one large lettuce leaf and spoon a couple of spoonful’s of each ingredient (bacon bits, meat, cheese, egg and tomato) into the center of the lettuce leaf.
Starting from the end closest to the stalk, roll the lettuce tightly around the ingredients.
Holding the wrap together, wrap two chives around the center and skewer through the chives on both sides of the wrap with a toothpick.
Serve with the salad dressing for dipping
