My BLT Salad with Oakley, our Petite Golden Doodle (aka, my fav son) standing guard over it!

My husband’s parents came for a visit last weekend and brought us a ton of the most beautiful, dark red, ripe tomatoes from their garden!!

Simple, simple, simple. All I did was fill the bottom of my glass dish with shredded lettuce. I buy my lettuce already shredded, but that’s up to you. Then I used Miracle Whip in a squeeze bottle and zig zagged about 2T over the lettuce. Next I cut up two ripe tomatoes into small chunks, salt and peppered them to taste and put on top of the Miracle Whip layer, juice and all. Lastly, I sprinkled 2T of Hormel real bacon pieces over the tomatoes. I covered it and refrigerated for a few hours. At lunch time, I took it out and mixed it all up like you would a 7 layer salad. The juice from the tomatoes and the lettuce mixes with the mayo and thinned it out enough that it coated the whole salad. The bacon pieces were crispy and gave it LOTS of flavor. Oh yum!

I’m telling you, it tasted like a BLT but it was a lot bigger!!! Score!! I love using what’s in season and abundantly available while we can and this salad does just that beautifully!!

Have a great day,
