BLT Salad with Creamy Dijon Dressing
Originally published June 12013.
This BLT salad recipe is a result of laziness. The first time I had it, we were short of salad fixin’s in the fridge and I just didn’t want to go shopping, so what went in the salad was just what was on hand.
As compensation for lack of ingredients I just added a LOT of bacon! Besides the bacon, the homemade garlic and herb butter croutons are amazing in this salad and the creamy Dijon dressing is just the perfect finishing touch.
Creamy Dijon Dressing
We enjoyed this delicious salad with our Honey Dijon Glazed Chicken Breasts for one delicious dinner. It may not be the most complex of salads but it is still one of my all time favourites.

If you enjoy very simple salads like this one, you’ll probably like our Easy Roasted Garlic Caesar Salad Dressing that also uses a plain mayo as a base for an incredibly delicious salad dressing.
