blt without the bread

The season is ending way too soon for tasty home grown tomatoes.  So I highly recommend putting a salad spin on a this classic sandwich combination before it’s too late.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 head of Romaine lettuce

1 red onion

1 package of bacon

tomatoes

croutons

The Dressing: (what really makes it!)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon maple syrup

4 teaspoons of whole grain mustard

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

So wash & chop the lettuce, onion & tomatoes.  Then fry the bacon, let cool & chop into small pieces (This step was Tuesday’s favorite part)

Put all the salad ingredients in a big bowl & add croutons.

Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing & serve separate or toss with salad.

Serve up & enjoy!
