BLT Recipes
I’ve said it before and it bears repeating, you just can’t go wrong with the classic flavors of a BLT. What’s not to love about bacon, lettuce, and tomato in pretty much any combination?
The answer is nothing. There’s nothing not to love here. I’ve eaten this BLT Salad for lunch three days in a row and I have no regrets about that. None at all.
You’ll want to save the Bacon Lover’s BLT Pasta Salad and the BLT Corn Salad to try soon as well.
