I think I’ve told y’all this before. I struggle with lunches. I don’t really want to dirty up the kitchen and make something complicated, so I often resort to peanut butter and jelly, or just eating slices of turkey with a cup of yogurt. Not very exciting, but the goal is to not be hungry, not thrill my culinary senses. . . But then every now and then I get a whim to actually create a more exciting lunch and not long ago, I saw this recipe for a BLT salad and thought it sounded sublime and perfect for lunch. Not too many dirty dishes and I didn’t have to turn on the oven! It also gave me an opportunity to use up some of the abundance of yellow pear tomatoes. Funny thing is, I’ve never actually had a BLT sandwich so I didn’t really have any expectations for this salad, but it was delicious. The simple aioli dressing brought a richness to the salad that made it feel heartier. Very tasty, we all enjoyed it a bunch!

Yum! Thanks Beth. I will have to try this one out. I have never had a yellow pear tomato before. I will have to have a look out for them and try ‘em.
Umm…what do you mean, “I’ve never actually had a BLT sandwich” — what the?!?! Are you kidding? Holy geez, woman, that is one of my favorites of all the ‘wiches.
Which of course means, I should try this recipe out. ha ha!
It has just been a recent occurrence that I’ve come to enjoy tomato, thus never having tried a BLT previously! It’s definitely on my to do list!
