Step 1
Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oven, drain grease on paper towels, and crumble when cool.

Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 4
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad bowl.
Step 5
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cube the flesh. Add the avocado to the salad.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the prepared salad, and gently toss to mix the ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Add the crumbled bacon and croutons to the salad just before serving, and toss again lightly.
Step 9
Serve the BLT salad immediately, and enjoy as a refreshing meal.
