My family loved this and everyone said it tasted just like a BLT sandwich. Makes a lot more than 4 servings if it's not the main course. We found it din't keep well. Thanks for the great recipe!

YUM! a new staple in our house. my BF LOVES this salad! I did tweak it a bit. I used sourdough bread for the croutons and drizzled them with olive oil instead of canola. I stuck them in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes until browned. I also used reduced-sodium bacon and low-fat mayo in an attempt to reduce the fat content. Otherwise - AWESOME!!!

the idea of this recipe is good, but I found the dressing to be disappointing. I would omit the bacon grease next time. Maybe add a little garlic.

My hubby and I LOVE this salad. It's a nice change from traditional salads. We don't have it very often, because it's not very healthy, but we do indulge a few times in the summer when fresh garden tomatoes and basil are in. Yummo!

My susband and I loved this salad. I have fresh basil growing on my patio so used that. Thought all that mayo sounded too creamy but it was delicious. Didn't add dressing until we were ready to eat.

Made this for a picnic and it was gone before I knew it. I did think the dressing was a bit tangy so I added a little sugar. Good way to get my husband to eat tomatoes.

I loved this salad! I would recommend less salt & pepper for the croutons though.

If you closed your eyes while eating this recipe, you'd swear it was a great BLT sandwich. I didn't have mayo on hand, so I substituted Miracle Whip and it was OK, but next time I make this, I'll be sure to make sure I have mayo. Mayo is a little richer and would make it even better.

My husband and I did not like this at all. The vinegar in the dressing was way too strong. I tasted it before I put it on the salad and added sugar to it like others suggested but it still just wasn't good. The actual salad is good but I would definitely use a different dressing.

Recipe went over well but for me personally that was way too much tomatoes so I only used a half pint. Kept everything else as written. Thanks

Only 4 stars because I didn't really follow the recipe- I simply made a mixed lettuce salad, tossed crumbled bacon over it and used the recipe mostly for the basil dressing- WHICH IS THE BEST PART! Def a keeper- will make this many more times! Thanks!

I have always used this recipe for the dressing itself and don't find it necessary to change a thing. The bacon drippings provide a nice, rich flavor. Use a light hand when dressing your greens, and because this is a heavier dressing, it works perfectly with the Romaine lettuce called for.

Pretty good salad...I especially liked the dressing recipe. However, I made only half of the dressing and that was MORE than enough. I used the amount suggested of cherry tomatoes, and Hubby thought that was alittle to many. But overall...delicious,,,just not so much dressing! left-overs get wilty fast, so eat what you make right away.
