Blt Fattoush

• 1 lemon, juiced
• .5 cups olive oil
• salt & pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, optional
• 2 handfuls torn lettuce leaves
• .5 cups chopped fresh tomato
• 2 bacon slices, cooked
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
• 1 hard boiled egg, cut into chunks
• 1-2 handfuls pita chips, crushed lightly

1. Make the dressing by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and chives in a small jar. Shake to combine and season to your taste with salt & pepper. Set dressing aside.
2. Combine the lettuce, tomato, bacon, shallot and egg.
3. To make this salad brown bag ready: put the vegetable mix into a 3-4 cup plastic container. Place the pita chips into a small container or bag and nestle them on top of the vegetables. Put your dressing into the same bowl. Seal up the big bowl and there's your salad kit for lunch.
4. When ready to eat, shake the dressing jar again to combine the ingredients well. Combine the vegetables with the pita bread and then toss with dressing (When I'm at work, I put the lid back on the big container and shake to combine everything well). Season to taste with salt & pepper. I like this salad best when the pita is still crunchy, but you may prefer letting the salad sit a few minutes to soften the pita.
