Notes
- This salad tastes best with the dressing tossed with the salad as opposed to drizzled over, it helps give the full flavor of a classic BLT sandwich.
- You can use any croutons you’d like but these are my preference.
- Milk or heavy cream may be used in place of buttermilk in the dressing.
- This salad can be prepared in advance, but don’t add the dressing until just before serving.
- This salad should be enjoyed within an hour or two of adding the dressing.
