The BLT sandwich is a classic and for good reason… its flipping delicious! Crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, lettuce on toasted bread. Another fantastic way to enjoy all that kicked up a notch? This BLT Chopped Salad with Avocado Dressing is so so good and easy to throw together for lunch or dinner on the busiest of days.

Now of course with a fantastic salad like this one, ya need an equally tasty dressing and let me tell you this Avocado Ranch Dressing is perfect! The dressing is so creamy and adds a great brightness to the salad. Avocado, lime, greek yogurt, cilantro and ranch mix are blended until smooth with a little water to loosen it up. Throw a little salt and pepper in there and you’re set.

How do you guys cook your bacon? Im all about the oven! It comes out perfectly crisp and its a whole let less messy then frying stovetop. The bacon in this salad really adds a perfect salty crisp bite to go along with the juicy tomatoes. Now unlike a traditional BLT sandwich I did add a couple things to this salad… sliced black olives & chickpeas. Its all around adding simple layers of flavor and texture that make this such a good salad.
