Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 medium Avocado
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
While the bacon cooks, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and gently scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into cubes and add to the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad along with the croutons.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Top the salad with the crumbled bacon pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and refreshing BLT and Avocado Salad!
