Number Of Ingredients 6

24 strips (cut 1/4 inch thick) bacon, (1 pound)
2 1/2 bunches lettuce, such as romaine, Bibb, or green oakleaf
1 cup Avocado Dressing for BLT Salad
2 pounds tomatoes, preferably red and yellow
1 pint cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bacon strips on a wire rack set over a baking pan. Place pan in oven until bacon is golden brown and crisp, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, being careful of the bacon fat that has collected under the rack, and set aside.
  • Arrange lettuce in the bottom of a salad bowl; drizzle with half the avocado dressing. Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices; cut cherry tomatoes, depending on size, in half. Arrange tomato slices over lettuce; scatter cherry tomatoes over tomato slices.
  • Arrange whole bacon strips over tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining avocado dressing, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have leftover bacon after making breakfast and this salad is a great way to use it up.

I made this salad with grilled chicken instead of bacon and it was also very good. The grilled chicken added a nice smoky flavor to the salad.

I added some crumbled blue cheese to this salad and it was amazing! The blue cheese added a nice tangy flavor to the salad.
