Ingredients

• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 slices Bread (for croutons)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble into bite-sized pieces once cool.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread slices into small cubes to make croutons. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step 3

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl along with the crumbled bacon and toasted croutons.

Step 5

To make the avocado dressing, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and place it in a blender or food processor. Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 6

Drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful BLT Salad with Avocado Dressing!
