Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise (known as Best Foods west of the Rockies) won our taste test of store-bought mayonnaise—we recommend it for this salad.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 (1-inch-thick) slices Italian bread
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Spread 1/4 cup mayonnaise over both sides of bread slices and transfer to baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then cut into 1-inch croutons.

  2. Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate. Discard drippings.
