Ingredients
- Six 1-inch-thick slices good-quality ciabatta bread
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 24 small cherry or grape tomatoes
- Green Goddess Dip, for serving, recipe follows
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Bake until lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool, then cut each slice into bite-size pieces.
- Cut each slice of bacon into 4 pieces. Remove 12 nice leaves from the head of lettuce. Cut each lettuce leaf into 2 pieces. Skewer a piece of bread onto each of twenty-four 4-inch skewers. Carefully roll up the lettuce pieces and place one on each skewer, followed by a piece of bacon and a tomato. Serve with Green Goddess Dip.
- Combine the buttermilk, yogurt, basil, dill, parsley, tarragon, mustard and vinegar in a blender and blend for about 15 seconds. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil and extra-virgin olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve chilled.

Reviews
These were a big hit! I gave 5 stars for flavor. I used garden fresh small cherry tomatoes and herbs, quality bacon, and the ciabatta. My only change was the dressing as written was very thin (like milk) and it makes a lot. I added mayo to help give it a little more body. Made it even better. This is a keeper.
