There's an inside joke with my boyfriend who could practically eat bacon at every meal. We ALL love BLTs, but, in my family we've traditionally eaten them in the summer, and nearly always when the corn on the cob is ripe and sweet. Read more It's a meal we SO look forward to every summer. It's become such a "thing" that when one of us says "A BLT sounds good", the other will counter with, "But the corn's not ready, yet". So, if you ask him, this salad is called Stubborn Southerner Salad...but, for me, it's Sunsational Summer Salad! :) Either way, it's a tomato salad, with the flavors a favorite summer meal! See less
