How to Make Bacon Lettuce Mozzarella And Tomato Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup Italian vinaigrette and 2 tablespoons lime juice.
  3. Arrange mozzarella slices in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Drizzle with 1 cup of the vinaigrette mixture. Set aside remaining vinaigrette.
  4. Let the mozzarella sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Slice the top one-fourth off the bread loaf. Carefully scoop out the bread, leaving a 1-inch-thick shell.
  6. Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet. Brush the inside of the bread bowl evenly with ½ cup of the remaining vinaigrette mixture.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread bowl is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the bread bowl cool completely.
  9. Line the bread bowl with the chopped butter lettuce.
  10. Fill the bread bowl with the sliced tomatoes and marinated mozzarella.
  11. Top with the crumbled bacon.
  12. Serve immediately, drizzling with the remaining vinaigrette mixture.
