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.
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cube the flesh. Add the avocado to the salad.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Drizzle the dressing over the prepared salad, and gently toss to mix the ingredients evenly.
Add the crumbled bacon and croutons to the salad just before serving, and toss again lightly.
Serve the BLT salad immediately, and enjoy as a refreshing meal.
