Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large avocados
- 6 slices bacon
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the bacon. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices, and cook until they are crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. While the bacon cooks, dice the avocados into medium-sized chunks and place them in a large serving bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and gently toss to coat the avocados to prevent browning.
3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
4. Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add the lettuce to the bowl.
5. Mince the garlic and cilantro. If using, finely dice the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). Add these aromatics to the bowl with the other ingredients.
6. Sprinkle the kosher salt and black pepper over the salad. Drizzle with the olive oil, and gently toss everything together to combine the flavors. Be careful not to mash the avocado chunks.
7. Finally, fold in the chopped bacon pieces to complete the BLT guacamole salad.
8. Serve immediately as is, or pair it with some tortilla chips or crusty bread for an added crunch!
