A Little Story About This Dish…
As the name suggests, the B.L.T. Salad is ALL about bacon, lettuce and tomato.
However, within those 3 ingredients, you have an enormous choice of different types of bacon, lettuces and tomatoes which can turn an ordinary salad into a stellar one!
At Cattleman’s, we have a huge selection of bacon brands and styles. We love you to choose one for this salad that’s thick sliced and hickory smoked.
You might even want to you use our recipe for Candied Bacon with Maple Syrup and Brown Sugar to make your bacon even MORE special!
Good choices for your lettuce include Iceberg, Boston Bibb or Romaine and for tomatoes, our Grape, Compari or even Heirloom can make this salad truly memorable.
For our recipe, we’re using both Iceberg and Romaine.
