How to Make B L T Salad
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove bacon from skillet; reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble.
- Cube bread into 3/4-inch pieces.
- Heat reserved bacon fat in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add bread cubes and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
- Transfer croutons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, water, salt, and pepper.
- Thinly slice red onion and halve and slice tomatoes.
- Tear or chop romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together red onion, tomatoes, lettuce, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the croutons. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add dressing and toss to coat evenly.
- Divide salad between two plates. Top with remaining croutons and bacon.
