BLT Salad

 

I’ve been going to the gym and trying to eat a lot healthier. That’s one of the reasons there hasn’t been too many baked goods on the blog lately. I’m trying to eat a salad at lunch and dinner with whatever I’m having, just to bulk up. I had all the ingredients for a BLT sandwich the other day but knew I couldn’t possibly fit all the lettuce I usually eat in one sitting on one tiny bit of bread so decided to throw it all in a bowl and make a BLT Salad.

 

 

I didn’t want to make croutons nor have too many carbs so toasted just one slice of bread and chopped that up and tossed through the salad. It was a nice way to eat that BLT combination, which is such a favourite with so many people.
