This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make the dressing and chop the vegetables ahead of time, and then just assemble the salad when you're ready to eat.

The BLT salad was easy to make and the dressing was delicious. I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better if I made it from scratch. The bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes were fresh and tasty.
