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

Directions

Special equipment:

twenty-four 4-inch cocktail skewers

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.

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.
