    BLT-Inspired Salad

    Updated: Jun 12, 2023 by Veronica Noone · This post may contain affiliate links · 7 Comments

    I was in "clean-out-fridge" mode as we prepared for our yearly family beach outing and there was a pile of lettuce greens staring me in the face every time I opened the door.

    I didn't have much else besides some cherry tomatoes from the farm.

    Wait. A. Minute.

    Lettuce? Tomato?

    All I'm missing is bacon!

    That's how my brain works and before I knew it I was noshing on this simply yummy salad.

    The dressing I whipped up added a lot of flavor and really jazzed up a simple pile 'o lettuce perfectly.

    I wanted to add a bit of shredded Cheddar but all I had was sliced muenster so I folded it a few times and cut it into small slivers to mimic "shredded" cheese. It worked great!

    Here's what I did...

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon real bacon bits (14g)
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
    • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    • â…• tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 tbsp honey (21g)
    • Pinch of salt
    • Pile of mixed salad greens
    • About 10 cherry tomatoes
    • 1 slice of muenster cheese, cut into small slivers (¾ oz)

    Instructions

    In a small bowl whisk the bacon bits, oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey and salt together.

    Set aside.

    Pile the lettuce on a plate, top with the tomatoes and cheese.

    Drizzle on the dressing and enjoy!

      YUM! I just made my version of a BLT salad a couple weeks ago. Same concept but I used thick peppered bacon and my favorite Ranch! Totally worked for my BLT craving without the bread.

      I love the idea of the bacon bits IN the dressing. Looks delish!

      Sounds good. I love BLTs not so much of salads unless they have chicken with them. So I might try this recipe out.

      Genius! Love this idea. The Worcestershire is an intriguing addition - big fan of the sauce but never thought of it for salad dressing. Thanks!
