Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Bibb lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the Bibb lettuce leaves. Carefully separate them into individual cups and set aside.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Place the halved tomatoes into a mixing bowl.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the green onions and parsley, then add to the bowl with the tomatoes and bacon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Pour this dressing over the tomato and bacon mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
To assemble, scoop spoonfuls of the tomato and bacon salad into the Bibb lettuce cups. Arrange the lettuce cups on a serving platter or individual plates.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light lunch!
