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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the bacon cooks, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and carefully dice the flesh into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
Step 3
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped bacon.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
