Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices bacon (8 ounces total)
1/2 baguette (8 ounces), sliced into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 pound romaine-lettuce, hearts chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper. Bake until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.Cool, then crumble into large pieces.
  • Make croutons: Toss bread with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, tossing halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, and scallion; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and croutons; toss to coat with dressing. Sprinkle with bacon.

I'm not a huge fan of BLTs, but this salad was really good! The dressing is light and tangy, and the bacon is crispy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a little bland for my taste, and the bacon was a bit too chewy. I probably won't make this again.

This salad was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used pre-cooked bacon to save time, and I also added some chopped red onion for a little extra flavor. My family loved it!

This BLT salad was a hit at my last potluck! The buttermilk dressing was creamy and tangy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I also loved the addition of avocado and hard-boiled eggs - it made the salad extra filling and satisfying.
