BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SALAD
Crisp bacon makes this salad a real winner. I use turkey bacon with good success. Please don't try to substitute those artificial bacon bits in this recipe, it just won't work.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.
- Choose a good quality bacon. Bacon is the star of this salad, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overcook the bacon. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy. Cook the bacon until it's just crispy.
- Use a variety of lettuces. This will add texture and flavor to your salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, and butter lettuce.
- Make sure the lettuce is dry before assembling the salad. Wet lettuce will make the salad soggy.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad. A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing is a good option.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best when it's served fresh. The lettuce will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
The bacon lettuce tomato layered salad is a classic American dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
