Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium/high heat. Place slices of bacon in the pan, making sure they are not overlapping. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the bacon is crispy, firm to touch and darker in colour. Transfer the cooked bacon to the paper towel-lined plate and let rest for 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon in the paper towel. Set aside.

Prepare the lettuce by removing the outer leaves, then cut into wedges. Cut the end to remove the stem. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
