BLT SALAD



BLT Salad image

For when you want to lean into summer but are trying to be a little bit healthier. There's bacon fat-fried ciabatta, so emphasis on a little. You could use any greens you have on hand, cherry tomatoes instead of beefsteak, and regular mayo instead of Kewpie. Happy BLTing!

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 strips bacon
5 slices ciabatta, roughly torn (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped chives, plus more for serving
1 clove garlic, grated
Juice of 1 lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
A few cracks freshly ground black pepper
4 heads little gem lettuce, ends trimmed and leaves separated
1 beefsteak tomato, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet, then place in the oven and turn on the heat to 400 degrees F. Cook the bacon for 16 to 18 minutes or until your desired crispiness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate (reserve the baking sheet) and let cool to room temperature.
  • Toss the cubed ciabatta in the bacon fat and return to the oven for 10 minutes, until golden and crisped.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Chop the bacon, then toss with the lettuce, crispy bread and tomatoes. Top with the buttermilk dressing and additional chives.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup capers, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 small cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup croutons
1 1/2 cups shaved aged Parmesan, or as much as you like
2 tablespoons blended oil
6 heads Little Gem lettuce, quartered and ends trimmed
1/2 large red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Add the yogurt, capers, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper to a blender. Turn on the blender and slowly stream in the olive oil until combined, about 1 minute. Pour into a small dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a small food processor, dump the croutons and 1/2 cup Parmesan and pulse until in rough bits, then set aside for later.
  • Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon blended oil. Once heated add the Little Gem wedges cut-side down and sear until the undersides are medium to dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. (Do this in batches if necessary to not crowd the skillet.)
  • Add the remaining tablespoon blended oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the red onions and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet and place in a small bowl.
  • Use a paper towel to wipe out the skillet, then return to medium-high heat. Add the crouton-cheese mixture and heat until warmed through and evenly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Put a spoonful of dressing on each of 4 to 6 plates and spread in a circle with the back of the spoon. Arrange 4 to 6 pieces Little Gem on each plate. Drizzle with more dressing, then sprinkle on capers, charred onion and thinly shaved Parm all over those babies. Sprinkle your warm cheesy crumbs over the top to finish.

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
