B.L.T. SALAD
Steps:
- In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Reserving 1 tablespoon bacon fat in skillet, drain bacon on paper towels and crumble. Cut bread into enough 3/4-inch cubes to measure 1 cup. Heat fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté bread cubes with salt to taste, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer croutons to paper towels to drain and cool.
- In a small bowl whisk together garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Slice onion and halve tomatoes. Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces.
- In a large bowl toss together onion, tomatoes, lettuce, half of bacon and croutons, salt and pepper to taste, and enough dressing to coat.
- Divide salad between 2 plates and top with remaining croutons and bacon.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no bruises or blemishes. The better the quality of the tomatoes, the better your BLT salad will be.
- Use crispy bacon: Thick-cut bacon is best for this salad, as it will hold up better when tossed with the other ingredients. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and slightly browned.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad is simple to make, but it's best if you let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Toss the salad just before serving: The dressing for this salad can wilt the lettuce, so it's best to toss it just before serving. This will help keep the salad crisp and fresh.
Conclusion:
This overnight BLT salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The combination of fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon, and creamy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
