How To Make Bacon Lettuce Tomato Salad

1. Boil Eggs and Asparagus: Place eggs and asparagus, cover with water, and simmer. Cook for about five minutes for soft boiled eggs, drain and cool under cold water.

2. Cool and Peel the Eggs: Refresh the eggs in cold water until fully cooled. Gently peel them, pat dry, and set them aside while you prepare the rest of the salad.

3. Cook the Bacon: Heat a nonstick pan with a light coating of oil and fry the diced bacon until crisp. Transfer the pieces to a plate so they stay crunchy.

4. Whisk the Dressing: Combine the olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, milk, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until the dressing looks smooth and slightly creamy.

5. Arrange the Greens: Spread the spinach, arugula, and asparagus on your serving plates. Make sure the greens are evenly distributed for easy topping.

6. Finish Salad: Add the crisp bacon and soft boiled eggs on top, then drizzle with the honey mustard dressing. Serve right away while everything tastes fresh and bright.

This Bacon Lettuce Tomato Salad pairs best with dishes that stay light and fresh while adding a touch of comfort. I love serving it with Garlic Prawns and Avocado Crostini because the mix of prawns and creamy avocado matches the salad’s brightness. Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs turn it into a complete breakfast or brunch plate, while a slice of Super Moist Cornbread brings a warm, cozy bite that rounds out the meal without overpowering the fresh flavors.

Tips For Making Bacon Lettuce Tomato Salad

• Use the freshest greens you can because they keep the salad bright and crisp. I like mixing spinach and arugula for a blend of mild and peppery flavors.
• If your greens look a little tired, a quick soak in ice water perks them up beautifully.
• Cook the bacon until it is fully crisp so every bite has that satisfying crunch. I usually blot it with a paper towel to keep the salad light.
• Cool the eggs completely before peeling because it helps the shells come off easily and keeps them looking neat in the bowl.
