Club Salad

8 cups lettuce OR torn/chopped/greens/micro-greens

1 tomato chopped

3 ounces sliced ham

3 ounces sliced turkey

2-4 ounces cheese

1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbled

4 slices white bread lightly toasted

Bacon Dressing

1 drop liquid smoke

1/4 tsp garlic granules

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon -I cheated and use the pre-cooked bacon for salads-use what you have or like

1/4 cup milk more or less, add to your thickness preference

to make the salads: divide the lettuce between two dinner plates

top with chopped tomatoes

cut the lunch meat into strips or squares and divide evenly between the salads

add cheese if using

sprinkle crumbled bacon over each salad

cut the toasted bread into squares and lay them on each side of the salad

Bacon Salad Dressing

to make Bacon Dressing: put the milk with the seasonings in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake to combine

then add the mayonnaise and sour cream shake again

add the bacon, shake until completely mixed

chill until ready to use, preferably over night but even 15 minutes will work

Notes

Make the dressing first to give it time to settle, even better make it the day before and chill it well before using. Make necessary changes to suit your tastes and ingredients, I like Club Sandwiches with cheese so I added it to mine, you can too.
