Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Provided by Penny Burdge

Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

CROUTON INGREDIENTS
4 slice bacon
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 Tbsp canola oil
4 slice bread, cubed
MAIN SALAD INGREDIENTS
1 lb lettuce leaves, (any kind except iceberg)
1/2 lb bacon
2 large tomatoes, diced
DRESSING INGREDIENTS
1/2 c mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp bacon drippings
1/4 c fresh basil, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, cook the 4 slices of bacon until they are crisp, but not burnt. Remove from skillet, crumble when cooled enough to handle and set aside. Pour off, but SAVE the bacon drippings to make the dressing. (See below)
  • 2. Add the salt, pepper and canola oil to the skillet and bring it back up to medium-high heat. Add the cubed bread and toss well. Cook and stir until the bread is a bit crispy on the outside, but not burnt.
  • 3. Tear the cleaned lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes. Add the 1/2 pound of cooked and crumbled bacon and the 4 crumbled slices of bacon used to make drippings for the dressing(from step 1) Toss it to mix it well.
  • 4. Make the Dressing: Combine all the dressing ingredients in a glass jar with a lid, and shake it all vigorously until well-blended. If it seems too think, just add another teaspoon of vinegar. Too thin, add a bit more mayo.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, crispy lettuce, flavorful bacon, and ripe tomatoes will make all the difference in this salad.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. Cook it until it is just crispy, but not hard.
  • Use a variety of lettuces. This will add texture and flavor to the salad.
  • Add some crunch. Croutons, chopped nuts, or seeds will add a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Dress the salad just before serving. This will prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
