B L't Tossed Salad

Boston lettuce and homemade croutons are the key to this salad. I make this often, especially good in the spring and summer.

Cook bacon in skillet until crisp.

Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in skillet , drain and crumble bacon.

Cut bread into 3 / 4 inch cubes to measure 2 cups.

Heat fat over medium heat and saute bread cubes , seasoned with a little seasoning salt , stirring until golden brown.

Transfer croutons to paper towels , set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together garlic , lemon juice , mayonnaise and water and salt and pepper to taste.

Tear lettuce into bite sized pieces , add tomatoes , onion , bacon , croutons and toss with dressing.

Serve immediately.
