| Deconstructed BLT and Eggs |
Todays FFWD recipe is for "Deconstructed BLT and Eggs". My husband has been on South Beach for about 3 weeks now, so I thought.. uggh another salad. But it did fit our dietary needs this week so, I took the turkey bacon out of the fridge and started to construct my Deconstructed BLT! I used a bag of mixed lettuce, since that is what I had in the house. I'm trying to use up all the food in my fridge before we leave for vacation. I boiled my eggs the day before. I peeled the eggs, fried up the bacon and bread cubes, then mixed up the dressing. I had just made Dorie's Oven Roasted Tomatoes and had about a half cup leftover. I used them instead of sun dried tomatoes in the salad. They were so good!
This salad was delicious. Between the bacon, oven roasted tomatoes, and eggs the flavors were wonderful. Even my husband, who has been eating a lot of salads lately, commented how delicious this was and he didn't even get to eat the croutons! Since this was our dinner, I served it with grilled chicken. I will definitely be making this again. It's a keeper!
This recipe can be found in Dorie Greenspans book "Around My French Table".

| Delicious! Loved the bits of bacon with the eggs and mayo! |

| This has nothing to do with my post...I just wanted to share my beautiful hydrangeas picked from my yard! So perfect for fall! |
Love your salad and hydrangeas in the festive pot!
ReplyDeleteThis salad looks like a keeper, I will eventually try this recipe and I like the roasted tomatoes too, must add a really nice depth of flavor.
Have a relaxing vacation;-)
Congratulations on your one-year, 100th! post! As always, your dish looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post. Time flies, doesn't it! I love that pumpkin basket with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your century post. A delicious salad is probably not a bad way to celebrate
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which is prettier, your salad or your hydrangeas so let's just call it win, win! I made the salad a couple of weeks ago and we really really liked it. Definitely a repeat. Yours looks wonderful. Congrats on 100th post!!
ReplyDeleteKathy-Your deconstructed BLT salad almost reminds me of a dressed up yummy salad that you used the bacon and the eggs in! To me, a BLT is always the classic sandwich, and I cannot substitute that for a salad. (I don't agree with Dorie on this one)
ReplyDeleteYou were wise to use up what's left in your fridge and make your delicious salad!
Your fall flowers are gorgeous! (can't pronounce the name, offhand)
xoxo
I almost forgot...Congratulations on you Blog Anniversary, and your 100th post!...keep on posting your wonderful recipes, and great stories:DDD
ReplyDeleteHappy 100th post! That's quite an achievement.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks delicious and I'm happy to hear that your husband was able to enjoy it as well. Always more fun when everybody gets to share and give feedback on the recipes.
Hydrangeas are my favorite flower. I love them so much that they were the main component of my wedding bouquet! I fantasize about the day when I own my own house and can plant hydrangeas all along the front. Your photo just made my day!
ReplyDeleteGlad the hubby was able to partake, despite his diet! I also made slow-roasted toatoes instead of sun-dried. I may never buy sun-dried tomatoes again.
Congratulations on your 100th post! Lovely salad and love your hydrangeas, they're beautiful and one of my favourites.
