Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices bacon (8 ounces total)
1/2 baguette (8 ounces), sliced into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 pound romaine-lettuce, hearts chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper. Bake until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.Cool, then crumble into large pieces.
  • Make croutons: Toss bread with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, tossing halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, and scallion; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and croutons; toss to coat with dressing. Sprinkle with bacon.

This salad was a big disappointment. The dressing was too thick and gloppy, and the bacon was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I didn't like the combination of flavors in this salad. The bacon and tomatoes were too overpowering for the delicate lettuce and avocado.

I thought the salad was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more seasoning to the dressing or vegetables.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar or adding a bit of sugar to balance it out.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I also like to add some crumbled blue cheese to the dressing for an extra boost of flavor.

This BLT salad is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love that I can use simple ingredients that I always have on hand. The dressing is also incredibly versatile and I've used it on other salads and even as a marinade for chicken.
