  • Cook the bacon until crispy:Crispy bacon adds a nice textural contrast to the soft tomatoes and lettuce.
  • Use a variety of lettuce cups: Bibb lettuce is a classic choice for this salad but you can also use Boston lettuce, butter lettuce, or romaine lettuce. Choose lettuce cups that are sturdy enough to hold the filling.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time:The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for meal prepping.

Conclusion:

This tomato and bacon salad in bibb lettuce cups is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and is also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish.
