BLOT Salad For Two

Most of us try to avoid blots in our life or forget the ones we already have. However, here’s a blot you’ll want – it’s BLOT salad. The B.L.O.T. stands for Bacon, Lettuce, Onion, and Tomato. Technically, there are five main ingredients in this salad – avocado being the fifth, but if you add the initial “A” to the acronym it would be BLOAT and I don’t think that would be an appetizing name for any dish, do you? So while the avocado has an important part in this recipe, I’m sure you understand why I left it out of the acronym. 

The challenge for me when making a salad is to keep it simple. I can easily get carried away adding extra ingredients. These five ingredients made a perfect salad. 

Use one-half of the avocado for the salad dressing and one-half for the chopped salad ingredients.

Salad is so tasty it doesn’t need dressing. I was halfway through eating my salad before I realized I hadn’t added the dressing. So dressing or no dressing, the choice is yours.

Ingredients

• SALAD
• 1 head Romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
• 1 tomato, seeded and coarsely cubed
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced crosswise
• 1/2 medium avocado, cubed
• 1 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped (I used turkey bacon)
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• DRESSING
• 1/2 medium avocado, mashed
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons low fat sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To make the saladMix together lettuce, tomato, onions, and avocado in a large bowl. Sprinkle salad with bacon, salt and pepper.
To make the avocado dressingCombine all avocado dressing ingredients in a bowl. Mash avocado and whisk in remaining ingredients. Or you can use a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.

Notes

NOTE: Avocado dressing makes 1 1/2 cups so there will be leftover dressing. I found many uses for the extra dressing besides salads. For example I used it to drizzle over cooked salmon and some to spread on a hamburger.
