B Man Salad Recipes

B.L.T. SALAD

Steps:

• In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Reserving 1 tablespoon bacon fat in skillet, drain bacon on paper towels and crumble. Cut bread into enough 3/4-inch cubes to measure 1 cup. Heat fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté bread cubes with salt to taste, stirring, until golden brown. Transfer croutons to paper towels to drain and cool.
• In a small bowl whisk together garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Slice onion and halve tomatoes. Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces.
• In a large bowl toss together onion, tomatoes, lettuce, half of bacon and croutons, salt and pepper to taste, and enough dressing to coat.
• Divide salad between 2 plates and top with remaining croutons and bacon.

MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
• I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
• Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
• Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
• Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
• Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
• Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
• Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
• You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
• Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
• Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.
