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!

- 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.
