How to Make Avocado And Spinach Salad

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine 5 ounces baby spinach, 1 ripe avocado (diced), and 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
