1 Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, Dijon, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks of a pepper mill). Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
2 Slice the bacon into one-inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
3 Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces, then rinse with cool water in a colander. Allow the lettuce to drain while you prepare the rest of the toppings.
4 Thinly slice the red onion. Slice the grapes in half. Crumble the feta.
5 To build the salads, divide the lettuce between four bowls and top each with grapes, sliced onion, bacon pieces, and crumbled feta. Drizzle the creamy Dijon dressing over top, then enjoy.
