i altered it a bit and used regular Iceburg lettuce and left the dressing off as a help yourself side dressing... It made it a huge hit for those who couldn't have the dressing too!

Very easy! I used grape tomatoes along with yellow pear tomatoes to add some color. I also added about 1 T. of dry ranch dressing mix. Will make again!

This salad is a great hit with my family!It's a light, refreshing salad perfect for the summertime heat of Houston. The only downside is it makes so much and you can't keep the leftovers. My favorite salad by far! You've got to try it!

Everybody in my family loves this salad!! The family asks me to make it all the time. I make my own croutons for it. We can't get enough of it!!

I LOVE the dressing on this salad! The garlic is so tasty, with just a hint of pepper. The salad is so easy to put together, too. I used cheese and garlic croutons since they were the only ones I had on hand, and turkey bacon instead of regular. It came out FABULOUS. Definitely a keeper for quick dinners after work

this is excellent. I used a blender to blend all of the dressing ingredients together and also threw the bacon in the blender too! dressing turned out great, but then i had to fry another pound of bacon to crumble in the salad!! This was so great. I thought at first the dressing was too thick, so i added a little more milk, SHOULDN'T have. That made it a little to runny and didn't stick to the lettuce. Will definately make again.!

We have been making this since fresh tomatoes started coming this summer. My husband and I laugh at how unhealthy this is for a salad, but we keep making it! I don't think it would be worth it if we didn't have fresh tomatoes though.

When I made this the other night I was excited because it has been so hot so we have been on a salad kick...when I mixed it together I was nervous because I thought it was going to be bland...I was so happy when we ate it, I was pleasantly surprised! It was great! The only change I made was I added cucumber because I had some and also a little pasta to give it more of a main meal for us.

Great tasty I just loved it. I will make it again. It is important not to put the dressing on untill your ready to eat, just like you would do to a ceaser salad.

I cooked 3/4 pound of bacon in the microwave, then crumbled it using the blender. Then I poured out the bacon bits and mixed them thoroughly with the chopped tomatoes so the bacon and tomatoes could flavor each other. There were lots of bacon bits still clinging to the side of the blender, which I then used to make the dressing. For the dressing, I used 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 2 heaping regular (non measuring) teaspoons of sour cream but no milk (I did not need any additional salt). I also used slightly less garlic powder than the recipe called for, even though I LOVE garlic. I used some bagged romaine lettuce this time, but next time I will use green leaf. This was really, really good! The mayo/sour cream/bacon bits dressing was delicious. I kept the lettuce, tomato and bacon mixed together, but added the dressing and croutons at serving time. EXCELLENT!!
