BLT Salad

BLT Salad

BLT stands for the traditional bacon, lettuce and tomato salad, with a few extra ingredients thrown in. We eat a lot of salads at our house, mainly due to the hot weather. In fact, our boys prefer to eat salads than roast vegetables. Since moving into our new house, I have set up four garden beds and am now growing many vegetables that go into this salad, as well as others, with the boys help.

To make this yummy salad, you will need:

• 4 bacon rashers, thinly sliced
• 200g lettuce mix eg. rocket, baby spinach, cos lettuce
• 200g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 avocado, stoned, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 4 eggs, boiled, shelled and sliced
• 2 TBSP rice wine vinegar
• 80ml (⅓ cup) extra virgin olive oil
• 1 TBSP wholegrain mustard
• Sourdough Vienna, cut into slices
• Olive oil, extra

Method:

• Heat a frypan over high heat and cook the bacon, for 4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
• Preheat grill on medium heat. Spray the Vienna pieces with olive oil (extra) and cook under the grill, turning, until lightly toasted on both sides.
• On a large platter, spread out the lettuce mix, then tomatoes, bacon, egg, and avocado. 
• Sprinkle with the spring onions.
• In a small bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar, olive oil and mustard. Drizzle over the salad.
• Serve with the bread.

We absolutely loved this BLT salad and have had it multiple already this Spring and hope you enjoy it too!
