The BLT Salad is a delightful twist on the classic BLT sandwich, offering a refreshing and nutritious option that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. By combining crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, and hard-boiled eggs, this salad delivers a well-rounded meal that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tbsp of finely chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.
- Place the 4 bacon strips in a cold, non-stick skillet and cook them over medium heat.
- Fry the bacon until it is crispy, flipping occasionally. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. After they cool, crumble or chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Place 2 eggs in a small pot and cover them with water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- After this time, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. This makes them easier to peel.
- Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and roughly chop the 4 cups of lettuce.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Dice the avocado.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
- Add the crumbled bacon.
- Drizzle the chive mayonnaise dressing over the top.
- Toss everything together gently until the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
- Serve the BLT Salad immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider using a mix of different types of lettuce, such as romaine and butterhead.
- Cook the bacon to your desired level of crispiness to enhance the texture of the salad.
- To save time, you can prepare the bacon and hard-boil the eggs in advance.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise.
- Don’t mix the dressing with the salad until you are ready to serve to keep the lettuce crisp.
Creating a BLT Salad is a quick and straightforward process that brings together the beloved flavors of the classic BLT sandwich in a refreshing and healthy form. With these simple ingredients and helpful tips, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any time of day.
