In the summer when garden fresh tomatoes are in season one of my favorite things to enjoy is a BLT sandwich. Fresh, juicy tomatoes with smoky bacon make for an absolutely delicious sandwich.
Turning that into a salad is just a great idea! You can easily add grilled chicken to bulk it up and make it a meal, and the creamy herb dressing goes perfectly with it.
