BLT Salad with Avocado

BLT Salad with Avocado
Prep 10 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 12 slices lean center-cut bacon (or 6-8 thick slices)
  • 3-4 Roma tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise (p.s. it tastes great with real mayo too!)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium or 1 large head of romaine (6 cups chopped)
  • 1 medium Hass avocado (chopped)

Steps

  1. 1

    Put bacon in a large non-stick skillet and saute over low heat, turning often, until crisp. Transfer to papertowels to cool, then crumble or chop bacon.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine chopped tomatoes with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/8 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine and set aside for 10 minutes allowing the tomatoes to release their juiciness. This scrumptious and easy concoction is your dressing.

  3. 3

    To serve, divide the lettuce among 4 plates then top each with 1/4 of the tomato "dressing" then divide the avocado and bacon evenly among the plates. If you're feeling less fancy, toss everything together in a large salad bowl and serve.
