BLT Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

When you have all of the ingredients of a BLT just hanging out in your fridge you are obligated to make one; even more so when we will have delicious fresh tomatoes right off the vine! To tie this all together I thought a homemade blue cheese dressing would work perfectly and add a little funkiness.

Ingredients:

Blue Cheese Dressing:

  • 1 Cup Mayo
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 TBSP Dried Parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 1/2 Cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 2 TBSP White Onion, finely minced
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste

BLT Salad

  • 2 Heads Romaine, washed & chopped
  • 1 Container of Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Avocado, diced
  • 1 Cucumber, sliced then halved
  • 3-4 Radishes, sliced
  • 3-4 Bacon slices, cooked & chopped

Let’s Get Cooking

In a medium-sized container with a lid, combine all of the blue cheese dressing ingredients. Stir well and taste, add more of whatever you feel it needs! Place it in the fridge and let it all come together for about an hour.

In a large bowl, add in your salad ingredients and mix well! I plated my salad, making sure I had a little bit of everything before topping it with dollops of the blue cheese dressing and extra cracked black pepper.

It’s creamy, it’s crunchy, it’s fresh, & delicious!
