BLT Salad Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 lb. bacon cooked until crisp (can use bacon bits but I prefer the real thing)
• 1 box of cooked noodles (any kind, I use the spiral ones)
• 1 head of lettuce washed and broken into bite size pieces
• 2-3 ripe tomato cut into bite size pieces
• mayo
• croutons (optional)

Directions

Put bacon, lettuce, tomato and cooked noodles in a bowl. Add enough mayo to coat everything. You can add some salt and pepper if you want. Taste to make sure it is to your liking, then add croutons on top. Makes a great summer salad.
