BLT BOWL

Ingredients

• 2 oz sliced cooked bacon
  1 to 2 cups croutons 
  1 lb (3 cups) tomatoes (any kind)
  1 medium/large head of lettuce, chopped, rinsed and spun dry

• For the Creamy BLT Salad Dressing:
  3 Tbsp mayo
  4 Tbsp sour cream
  1 large garlic clove, pressed
  1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
  1/8 tsp black pepper
  1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
  1 to 2 Tbsp milk, or add to desired consistency

Directions

1. Make the dressing first to allow the flavors to meld. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp mayo, 4 Tbsp sour cream, 1 pressed garlic clove, 1/4 cup chives, 1/8 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp salt (or season to taste). Stir together with a fork then add 1 to 2 Tbsp milk, or add milk to desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing (adding it to taste) and toss to combine. You may or may not use all of the dressing depending on how large your head of lettuce was. I had a tablespoon or so left over.

3. Enjoy!
