BLT Chopped Salad with Corn, Feta + Avocado. (Video!)
The times when I’m stoked about a BLT chopped salad are few and far between.
This is one of them!
Can I say stoked? I’ve probably used the word thrice in my life, the third being above. I’m trying it out for size. BLT chopped salad surely makes me stoked.
This salad… ugh. So good. I’ve rambled about my love for chopped salads for years on this little internet page. I don’t know what it is. The crunch of vegetables turns me off so maybe it’s just that everything is smaller and tiny and can be picked up in one spoon?
I think what it really is though.. is that I can use tortilla chips to eat this salad. Now THAT is where it’s at. I’m so into it.
The salad has so many of my favorite flavors going on – bacon, feta, avocado, corn – that I kept the dressing simple: just some olive oil and lime juice. Lots of salt and pepper too, but other than that, just pure flavor. Even a little arugula mixed in with my beloved butter lettuce for something extra.
On top of needing the majority of my salads in chopped form, I sure as heck need as much texture (like, non-vegetable texture) that I can get. Enter bacon. And corn. And if you’re feeling frisky… maybe crumble some of those tortilla chips on top.
Uh huh. Do it.
Watch the video of how I make this BLT chopped salad:
BLT Chopped Salad with Corn, Feta + Avocado
Ingredients
Instructions
- As a note, to chop my lettuce I like to lay it out on a big cutting board and just continuously run my knife through it (in all different directions) until it’s chopped as much as I like.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, arugula, tomatoes, corn and avocado. Add in salt, pepper, olive oil and lime juice then toss well to coat. Fold in bacon and feta then divide evenly amount 2 plates. Serve!

As a rule I don’t eat salads…… but for this salad, I may bend my rule
There’s just something so delicious about avocado and feta in a salad. Two of my all time favorite greens toppers!
I’m totally in love with this!
Love my job, since I’ve been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I’m making it online.(Click Home information)

This is a beautiful salad that we are going to make for our dieting group, the avocados are incredible in this recipe. A little goes a long way with avocadoes, it does not take a lot to get the fat loss effect. See here

Yummy-looking salad!
I totally went out and bought all the ingredients to make this for dinner tonight. Looks delicious and I love that you used feta instead of blue cheese like a typical cobb salad!
I’ve never commented, but I love your blog and have pinned many of your recipes! :)
Oh yum! This is going on the menu soon!
This looks so yummy. Healthy and indulgent at the same time. wonderful summer salad.
This is dinner TO-nite!
This looks amazing and I’m envisioning it on a HOT day like today in CT with a cold glass of white wine! I may add a chopped hard boiled egg for a little extra protein….yum!
YUM! I could eat this every. single. day. Maybe I should!! :) Thank for a great recipe Jessica!
yum yum yum! Very few salads get me excited…I can’t wait to try this one!
Corn and bacon? My mouth is watering!
I could eat this salad every day, even if it has avocado in it. It’s very pretty.
Ah, this salad looks so delish!

C’est délicieux! Parfait pour le lunch du midi au bureau!
No doubt about it- I’m definately making this salad this weekend.
Yesterday I was craving a chopped salad and then this popped into my Reader – perfect! I ran out to get the ingredients and had it for lunch today – all my favorites!! It was so good – I would like to eat it daily :-)
This salad looks AMAZING. I mean…bacon, feta, avocado…how can you go wrong?
I normally have the opposite palate of you (I love vegetables and am not a dessert person) but I am glad I keep coming back to check here bc I made this salad last night and it was a doozy of deliciousness. The light lime/olive oil dressing is just perfect with the other flavors. I also added some chopped green onions to mine as well (mostly bc I think a little minced onion is the secret to an ok salad become a super salad). Thanks for the recipe!
AWESOME!!! I tried this the other day and my step mom thinks it’s the best salad she ever ate. For anyone making it, it is better if it sits for a few hours before eating so everything comes together. I did add mushrooms that I sauteed in the bacon fat.
Now THIS is a salad. I can’t stop looking at it. I want it right now, but I’ll have to wait at least until tomorrow.
Oh man, this salad is full of delicious flavors! It looks so satisfying!

Had this at my daughter’s last week & fell in love with it! Made it last night for my husband & it was a hit! Thinking how I could vary so it wouldn’t seem repetitive, I thought grilled chicken or shrimp would also be great added to it!
