My sister made this salad for my mom and I last weekend when we were in Missouri. She made it with fresh bacon, kale from my garden, tomatoes, avocados, blue cheese, sunflower seeds and a light lemon-garlic-olive oil dressing. It was soooo good. I think anything with bacon rocks, but bacon paired with all of the fresh veggies REALLY ROCKS!
Here’s how you can make your own.
BKT Salad ~ Bacon, Kale, & Tomato
Ingredients
- One bunch kale
- 1/2 - 1 pound bacon
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- handful of blue-cheese crumbles
- sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice from 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the salad dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper, and garlic.
- Cook the bacon and crumble.
- Wash the kale, trim it from the stem, tear it into bite sized pieces.
- Add the dressing to the kale and toss well to coat.
- Add the other veggies, the cheese, bacon, and sunflowers.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Unlike other salad lettuce, kale is very hardy and holds up well even with the dressing on it. Normally, I would suggest not dressing salads until shortly before they are eaten, but this salad tastes better if it's dressed in advance and all the flavors meld together..
