Crisp bacon makes this salad a real winner. I use turkey bacon with good success. Please don't try to substitute those artificial bacon bits in this recipe, it just won't work.

Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Salad image

Can't choose between a crisp, refreshing salad and a satisfying BLT sandwich? This recipe combines the two for a crowd-pleasing side or meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the aioli dressing, simply whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • If you don't have cherry tomatoes, you can use grape tomatoes or diced Roma tomatoes.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-cooked bacon.

Conclusion:

This bacon, lettuce, and cherry tomato salad with aioli dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck.
