Caramelized onions (prepared through step 2 and wrapped in foil) will keep in the freezer for several months. They'll be ready next time you prepare this recipe.

BLT Salad
Stretch this economical salad during tomato season by finely chopping the bacon, onion and lettuce. Mix in the mayonnaise dressing and serve in hollowed tomatoes. It makes a great buffet dish, too.
