I love a good salad but it's rare I ever make one. If I make a salad I usually throw some lettuce in a bowl with some cherry tomatoes and call it a day. Pretty sad, I know. After an afternoon of eating some unhealthy food at the ballpark I was craving a hardy and healthy salad that of course was loaded with flavor. After rummaging through my fridge I decided to throw a twist on the classic BLT by creating a salad with a few more ingredients than the traditional sandwich and a healthier dressing. I'm already craving it again. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For the salad:
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1 avocado, diced
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 of a cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1/4 of a red onion, diced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, roughly chopped
For the dressing:
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Directions:
- Using a large salad bowl or medium mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for the salad. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together the juice of the lemon with the olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad (I recommend starting with half of the dressing) and toss the salad. Enjoy!
