Description

The ever-popular BLT sandwich is transformed into a salad! Inspired by Half & Half Restaurant


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz. French bread baguette, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (I used 5 small rolls, cut into cubes)
  • Cooking Spray
  • 4 slices smoked bacon
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (2 oz) red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp (.5 ml) salt
  • 6 cups (900g) torn romaine lettuce
  • 1 1/2 lbs plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch wedges
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz.) feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place bread cubes on it. Spray with cooking spray and bake for 15-18 minutes, until toasted.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside. Reserve 1 tbsp bacon drippings and add oil to the pan. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, pepper, and salt.
  3. Crumble bacon and toss with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss with bread cubes. Top with cheese and serve immediately.
