BLT Salad (It Tastes Like a Sandwich)

This recipe comes from the Six Sisters. It does not disappoint. There are a lot of BLT salads out there but this one is different. If you have a bite of the bacon, lettuce, tomato and the dressing followed by a bit of crouton and cheese you will feel like you are eating a sandwich. It is so delicious. You must mix it all to have the effect. If you just taste the dressing you may feel like it is just a sweet dressing and if you taste the salad you may feel like it is just a salad with bacon but together....magic. We often need to double this recipe to feed our family as a main meal as we love salad. Enjoy! ChefDLH
