Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 8 cups Romaine lettuce or mixed greens
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced avocado.
Crumble the crispy bacon and sprinkle it over the salad.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately as a full meal or a hearty side dish.
