BALT or Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce, and Tomato is one of the greatest combinations ever! Whether it's a salad or a sandwich, it's the best with fresh, ripe summer tomatoes!
More of an assembly than a recipe, the name is pretty self explanatory.

What Type of Dressing Should I Use?
This salad is pretty simple so the dressing opportunities are endless! I am not a huge mayonnaise fan, but most people would agree Ranch goes well with it! I prefer this Creamy Avocado Ranch.
