Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, approximately 7-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it into a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the salad.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Top the salad with the crumbled bacon, croutons, and chopped green onions for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and cheesy BLT salad!
