Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 strips of bacon (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 4 slices french or sourdough bread (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 1 large head romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 2-3 tomatoes (chopped)
- Kosher salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1
In a large skillet, over medium to medium-high heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease.

If there is too much grease in the pan for you, you can pour some of it off. You only need about 2 tablespoons to toast your croutons, but the bread will soak it up whatever's there, so you can leave as much as you want. Add bread and cook on medium heat until brown and toasted. Stir frequently, making sure not to let your croutons burn. Remove from heat.

In a small bowl or mason jar, stir together mayonnaise, milk, vinegar, and pepper.

Just before serving, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cooked bacon, croutons, and dressing in a large bowl and toss until everything is coated in the dressing. Divide and serve with a sprinkle of salt over the top. Enjoy!
