From the Garden...All American Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Salad


Want that bacon-lettuce tomato flavor without the calories of bread?  This simple, delicious recipe from “Land O Lakes Taste of Summer" is just right for those first, mouth-watering, vine-ripened tomatoes from your garden.   Grill anything to go with it…iced tea and cookies for dessert – the best of summer.
I purchased the rather expensive famous bottled ranch dressing; my husband’s only comment was “This is OK, but any of your homemade dressings would be better tasting.”  I had to agree.                   
All American Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Salad
  2       Large  Tomatoes -- 1/2" cubes
  8       Slices  Bacon -- crisply cooked, crumbles
  10     Ounces  Mixed Greens -- 6 cups
     ¾   Cup  Creamy Style Ranch Dressing
  8       Ounces  American Cheese -- shredded (2 cups)
Layer tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, dressing and cheese in large bowl.
Dress with salad dressing.

  1. He's right. Most times, homemade is so much better. This is how we eat most of the salads we fix at home. A good, easy and delicious way to have salad.
