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!

Made it tonight. Fabulous , My husband loved it. Great summer salad. Will make for company for sure. Great recipe
A friend shared this on facebook and I HAD to make it for lunch!! I used what I had on hand- gorgonzola (1 oz for 1 serving), frozen organic corn, spring green mix… It was SO delicious… I want to eat it every day!!!
I tried this out last night, and I ADORE it. I couldn’t eat it fast enough! It helped me use up like 2/3 of my produce delivery for the week. I forgot the tomatoes at the store, so I chopped up some small pickling cucumbers and threw those in. I am a fan. :)

I made this for supper tonight……the BEST salad I’ve ever had! Thanks!!!
Some of the responses re: chopped vs. cut lettuce are insensitive. Kindness is always more attractive than cleverness.

I have made this fabulous salad so many times! I’ve done cheats like not having ripe avocado, substituting strange cheese but it is all so good. Everyone always feels so good when eating it
