Arugula Salad With Bacon, Tomatoes & Buttermilk Dressing

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

I am obsessed with this salad. It’s basically the joy of BLTs, with the L turned into an A (baby arugula!). Plus some blue cheese, red onions, and buttermilk dressing.

Ok, so maybe it’s not exactly like BLTs.

But I promise you’ll love it!

It’s definitely a great base for a salad that can be served easily on its own. Or it also pairs perfectly with grilled salmon, shrimp, chicken, or whatever sounds good to you. And the buttermilk dressing can be also made “lighter” with Greek yogurt if you’d like.

See? I promised you would love it! :)
