BLT Salad

BLT Salad

I had all the ingredients for a BLT, but was more in the mood for a salad. I had gotten some beautiful leaf lettuce from a friend and wanted to use it up. There is only so much lettuce you can get between two slices of bread. I started with a nice bowl of  lettuce and dressed it with a drizzle of olive oil, some apple cider vinegar and a little balsamic vinegar. I also added some salt and some fresh ground pepper. I tossed the greens to coat them with the dressing, placed them on the plate and added diced tomatoes and crumbled bacon. I still wanted that toasty bread element, so I made a grilled cheese sandwich on rye bread with Swill cheese. I cubed up the sandwich and topped the salad with, sort of like very cheesy croutons. All in all it was a pretty good meal.
