Ingredient tips for BLT salad
- lettuce: Crispy lettuce and iceberg are the best choice for this hearty salad. Add some diced kale to add nutrition.
- tomato: Any tomatoes work! Use green, orange, yellow or red half grape tomatoes as a juicy color. Fade tomatoes have less liquid than freshly chopped tomatoes, which can help the salad last longer.
- bacon: This recipe has something to do with bacon! Pre-cook and chop, or cook yourself and use whatever variety you like.
- cheese: Blue cheese adds a buttery and salty balance to other rich ingredients. You can also use crushed feta, Parmesan, cheddar or Bocconcini (small balls of mozzarella).
- dressing: Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. No buttermilk? no problem! Use regular milk or follow this quick guide.
- Variations: Cut the avocado into diced and sliced olives, jalapeno, green chilies, corn kernels, red onions, fresh chives, chopped zucchini or carrots. Add (drain and rinse) canned cans or black beans to give it a mild flavor and bulge in fiber and protein.
The best way to store BLT salads
You may not need all the seasonings, so store all the leftovers in a jar and cover the fridge with a tight lid for up to a week.
Place the extra BLT salad in the covered refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir, adjust the seasoning, and enjoy with fresh lettuce, or put it in a wrap or pita bread pocket for a quick and vibrant weekday lunch.
