Enjoy the deliciousness of a BLT with a fresh lime vinaigrette in a salad!
It’s the New Year, and I’m sure we should be eating salads, quinoa casseroles, and other healthy foods. But no one told us to stop eating bacon. You can sneak bacon into a salad to make it more nutritious. If you want to go even further, you could add some extra crispy bacon as a garnish. Am I pushing it here, or is this just a joke?
If all salads looked like this one, I would eat it every day for the rest of my life. This salad is absolutely perfect. From the crispy bacon to the cherry medley tomato, fresh avocado, and sweet corn on a crisp bed of romaine lettuce. With a drizzle over that sweet, tangy lime vinaigrette, you will want to eat this salad every day. Single. Day.
