One of my favorite sandwiches is a BLT, which was what originally inspired this salad; but this has a little twist adding artichoke hearts, making it taste just as Yummy!
This quick salad came about when I realized I had no more tomatoes on hand in the fridge. Tomatoes never seem to last very long in our house so I should have realized we were out much sooner than later. Having a variety of ingredients on hand, allows me to cook from the pantry in the event I’ve run out of an ingredient. Substituting the artichoke hearts I had on hand in the pantry, was a great addition to the salad and made it a bit more hearty.
Ingredients:
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- Homemade Croutons
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 jar artichoke hearts in water, drained
- sliced red or green onion (optional)
- Buttermilk Dressing (recipe coming soon)
Top salad with all ingredients and toss gently.

We’d totally have this without the croutons for a gluten free side dish (or lunch!)
I read and hear about a lot of people looking for gluten free recipes. Unfortuneately that’s not my area of expertise. Bread is served a lot in our house and I can’t seem to have a salad without it. 🙂
