BLT Chopped Salad with Corn, Feta + Avocado
Description
The salad blends crisp butter lettuce and peppery arugula chopped finely, providing a fresh green base. Sweet grape tomatoes and juicy fresh corn kernels add bursts of sweetness and texture contrast. The addition of cubed avocado contributes creaminess to balance the other crisp and tangy elements. Fried thick-cut bacon crumbled throughout lends smoky saltiness, paired roundly by crumbled feta for tang and richness.
The dressing is a simple vinaigrette of olive oil, fresh lime juice, and seasoning with salt and black pepper, tossed thoroughly to coat all ingredients. The salad’s chopped form offers ease of eating and evenly distributes flavors and textures. It serves well as a light lunch or side dish accompanying a main course.
Ingredients
- 2 cups butter lettuce chopped
- 2 cups arugula chopped, fresh
- 1 pint grape tomato quartered
- 4 lices Bacon fried and crumbled, thick-cut
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 1 avocado chopped
- 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 tablespoons salt
- 1/4 tablespoons black pepper
Instructions
- As a note, to chop my lettuce I like to lay it out on a big cutting board and just continuously run my knife through it (in all different directions) until it’s chopped as much as I like.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, arugula, tomatoes, corn and avocado. Add in salt, pepper, olive oil and lime juice then toss well to coat. Fold in bacon and feta then divide evenly amount 2 plates. Serve!
