Tips:

  • For a crispier salad, use romaine lettuce instead of iceberg lettuce.
  • To add a bit of sweetness, use ripe cherry tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes.
  • If you don't have avocado on hand, you can substitute with crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese.
  • For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the bacon and add grilled tofu or tempeh.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables. Store the dressing and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, assemble the salad and toss with the dressing.

Conclusion:

The California BLT Tossed Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables, bacon, and avocado, and tossed in a creamy avocado dressing. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
