Description
Chopped BLT salad reimagines classic sandwich flavors in a fresh, crisp bowl of greens. Crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes, and crunchy lettuce combine with zesty dressing, delivering comfort and crunch you’ll savor in every delightful bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces/340 grams bacon
- 1 heart of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 small tomatoes (or 1 large), diced
- 2–4 tablespoons/30-60 milliliters mayonnaise (to taste)
- 4 sub rolls or sandwich buns, split and toasted
Instructions
- Sizzle Bacon: Position a skillet over medium heat and transform bacon into crispy delights. Transfer to paper towels, allowing excess grease to dissolve, then delicately fragment into bite-sized morsels.
- Craft Filling Fusion: Gather chopped bacon, verdant lettuce shreds, and vibrant tomato chunks onto a preparation surface. Introduce creamy mayonnaise and tenderly integrate ingredients, ensuring uniform coating and flavor distribution.
- Transform Rolls: Activate a skillet or broiler and transform sub rolls into golden, crunchy vessels with a warm, toasted exterior.
- Compose Sandwich Symphony: Lavishly layer the prepared bacon, lettuce, and tomato mixture onto the golden-brown rolls. Serve immediately to preserve the textural harmony of crisp elements and luscious filling.
Notes
- Cook bacon slowly over medium heat to ensure even crispness without burning, which prevents bitter flavors and maintains perfect texture.
- Fold mayo gently into ingredients to prevent crushing delicate tomatoes and maintain the filling’s structural integrity.
- Assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep rolls crispy and prevent soggy bread from tomato moisture.
- Toast rolls until golden but not overly dark, ensuring a warm, crunchy exterior that complements the cool, fresh filling.
