BLT Salad Recipe
A BLT salad brings everything you love about the classic sandwich, crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce and tosses it into a fresh, flavorful bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 head romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 ¼ cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 10 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- ½ Small red onion (thinly sliced. This is optional, see note 1)
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 cup croutons
For Salad dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon coriander (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients for the dressing into a bowl or jar. Mix till well combined. Keep in the refrigerator to rest shiny you cook the bacon.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet or oven until crispy. Let cool slightly, then chop or crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the lettuce and place it in a large bowl.
- Add tomatoes, red onion (if using), croutons, and bacon to the bowl.
- Drizzle with dressing just before serving and toss until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- While I use onions sometimes, I didnt include it in this recipe. Feel free to leave it out
- Use thick-cut bacon for extra crunch.
- You can use store bought bacon bits in a pinch
- Add grilled chicken to turn it into a BLT chicken salad, or substitute cooked pasta for the lettuce to make a BLT pasta salad.
