Boston lettuce and homemade croutons are the key to this salad. I make this often, especially good in the spring and summer.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not usually a fan of salads, but this one changed my mind. The combination of bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes is classic for a reason, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This BLT salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone raved about how fresh and flavorful it was. I especially loved the addition of avocado, which gave it a creamy, rich texture.
