American · Main course · 25 min total

A classic BLT deconstructed into a hearty salad with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a creamy dressing.

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
3. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, tomato wedges, and crumbled bacon. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
4. Sprinkle with blue cheese if using, and serve immediately.

• Substitute Greek yogurt for some of the mayonnaise for a lighter dressing.
