Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 slices white bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed in a bag with a mallet
6 strips center-cut bacon
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the lettuce, onion and tomatoes in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bread into crouton-size cubes. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast, tossing, until golden, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, paprika, lemon zest and crushed pepper in a small bowl. Add the bacon and press to coat on both sides. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place the thyme sprigs on the parchment paper, then lay a strip of bacon on top of each sprig. Bake until the bacon is caramelized and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Cut the bacon into bite-size bits using scissors; add to the bowl with the lettuce. Discard the thyme.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, syrup, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. (This is enough dressing for the whole salad, but you can use less if you want a less wet salad.) Sprinkle the croutons on top and eat.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 slices thick-cut bacon
1/2 pound ciabatta bread, cut or torn into bite-sized pieces
1 pound multi-colored heirloom tomatoes, cut into bite-sized wedges
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
2 1/2 ounces baby arugula, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • For the salad: Place the bacon on the prepared baking sheet, transfer to the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the bacon halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper to a mason jar, cover and shake to emulsify. Set aside.
  • Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Add the bread to the pan with the bacon fat and toss to combine. Transfer the pan back to the oven and cook until lightly golden and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, chop it into large bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • To assemble the salad, add the tomatoes to the base of a bowl or travel container. Add the iceberg and arugula on top. Sprinkle with the chives and dill. Top the salad with the bacon and ciabatta croutons. When ready to serve, drizzle on three-quarters of the dressing and toss to combine. Serve with extra dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will also contribute to the flavor of the salad.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. It should be crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use a variety of lettuces. This will give the salad more texture and flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as basil or chives. This will brighten up the flavor of the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Conclusion:

BLT salad shooters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light lunch. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and refreshing salad that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give BLT salad shooters a try.
