Ripe red tomatoes, white sourdough bread made into croutons, and bleu cheese top a bed of crisp romaine lettuce for this BLT salad. The perfect summer salad to celebrate with this July 4th!
While those two are cooking, began chopping and plating the remaining ingredients. By having a few things going at a time, you truly can get this salad done in ten minutes.
Some fun add-ins to consider
The base for this salad is Josie’s Romaine lettuce. Their romaine is the best. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I buy romaine and it turns out to be very bitter. Not with Josie’s! I don’t know what it is, but the texture is always crisp and the flavor is light and fresh without any bitterness!
I love enjoying salads in the summer because not only are they a lighter option, they also highlight delicious produce that is often in its prime this season. Tomatoes for example are juicy and ripe as can be this time of year!

Some fun add-ins to consider
- Avocado
- Grilled chicken
- Sub feta for bleu (some people dislike bleu cheese, and feta would be a good substitute)
- Hard boiled eggs
