Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
While the bacon cooks, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and carefully dice the flesh into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped bacon.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
