I love BLT sandwiches and decided to transfer my favorite
ingredients to a salad, jazz it up a little with fresh mozzarella, avocado and
tomatillo, and top with homemade croutons and buttermilk ranch dressing. Mmmmm…
This is a salad that is best when assembled to the diner's preference. Love
avocado? Put more on! Not crazy about
mozzarella? Leave it off! Think you
might like some green onions sprinkled on top? Go for it! Choose your choice and enjoy!
