How to Make Belt Salad

  1. Place 2 large eggs in a small saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Gently simmer for 8 minutes, then immediately drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Once cool, peel and carefully slice eggs in half lengthwise.
  2. While eggs cook, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 slices of bacon and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels. Once cool, chop coarsely.
  3. Arrange 4 cups of butter lettuce (or your favorite lettuce) on serving plates. Top with the chopped bacon, 1/2 cup of halved cherry or grape tomatoes, the sliced hard-boiled eggs, and 1/4 cup croutons.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions. Drizzle dressing generously over the salad and serve immediately.
