Ingredients

3 slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon smoked salt
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1 head iceberg lettuce
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice, for glasses
2 cups tomato juice, divided
2 cups cup vodka, divided
Green jalapeno hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon horseradish, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

The BLT Caesar is Chuck Hughes' ingenious take on the classic Caesar featuring a prosciutto rim, lettuce ice cubes and a kick of fresh horseradish.
For the prosciutto rim: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the slices of prosciutto, cover with another sheet of parchment paper and another baking tray. Cook in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Using a spice grinder, reduce the prosciutto to powder with the smoked salt and peppercorns.
For the lettuce ice cubes: Cut the lettuce head into 3 parts. Blanch the lettuce leaves in salted boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain, place in a bowl containing icy cold water and then drain again. Using a blender, reduce to a puree with the lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce. Add a little bit of water if too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an ice cube tray. Freeze for 2 hours, or until ready to use.
For the Caesar: Rim 4 glasses with lemon juice and then dip in the prosciutto mixture. Drop 3 lettuce ice cubes in the bottom of each glass. Fill the glasses with 1/4 cup vodka, then with 1/4 cup tomato juice. Add a dash of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Garnish with freshly grated horseradish and lemon wedges.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I omitted them from this salad. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I used a store-bought Caesar dressing for this salad and it was still really good. I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade dressing.

The bacon in this salad was perfectly crispy. I cooked it in the oven so it was nice and evenly browned.

I'm not a huge fan of Caesar dressing, but I loved the dressing in this salad. It was light and tangy, and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.
