Steps:
- Place the bacon in a small skillet; heat over medium heat until beginning to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the hot bacon fat; cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted and crunchy, about 3 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs to a separate paper towel-lined plate, spread evenly, and then sprinkle with the Parmesan to melt slightly.
- With a rubber spatula, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Add the shredded romaine; toss well to coat.
- Cut a small amount off the bottom of each tomato to create a flat surface to sit on. Then cut off the tops as well. Run a small knife around the inside of the tomatoes to loosen the flesh. Using a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out and discard the insides of each tomato.
- Divide the bacon among the tomatoes, pushing it down slightly. Top with some of the romaine, followed by the bacon-parmesan breadcrumbs. Serve at room temperature.
STUFFED BLT SALAD
In this twist on a classic BLT, big, meaty, juicy heirloom tomatoes take center stage, and bread plays a supporting role. For toast infused with the flavors of traditional Spanish pan con tomate, serve the stuffed tomato on top of it. As you cut through the tomato, the juices will soak into the bread and make it all the more delicious!

Steps:

Brush both sides of bread slices with mayonnaise. Return skillet to medium heat and toast bread, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
- Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch below stem ends to remove tops. Scoop out pulp and seeds from centers of tomatoes, leaving behind hollowed-out shells, and transfer to a strainer set over a bowl. When drained, remove pulp from strainer and chop; discard seeds in strainer. Reserve juices in bowl.
- Generously season insides of hollowed tomatoes with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together oil and 1/4 cup reserved tomato juice; season with salt and pepper. Add greens, chopped tomato pulp, and bacon, tossing to evenlycoat; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly among tomatoes. Cut toasts into triangles and serve, alongside tomatoes, or place tomatoes on top of whole toasts to serve.

Tips:
- Fresh ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and bacon that is not too chewy.
- Quality bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use good quality bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the bacon: The bacon should be cooked until it is crispy, but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of lettuces: This salad is a great way to use up different types of lettuce. Try using a mix of romaine, iceberg, and arugula for a salad that is both crunchy and flavorful.
- Add some crunch: The addition of croutons or chopped nuts adds a nice crunchy texture to this salad. You can also add some chopped celery or carrots for extra crunch.
- Make it a meal: This salad can be served as a main course or a side dish. If you're serving it as a main course, you can add some grilled chicken or shrimp.

This stuffed BLT salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with fresh vegetables, crispy bacon, and a creamy dressing.
