Ingredients for Avocado Blt Salad

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Sour Cream
  • Milk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Lemon Juice

How to Make Avocado Blt Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. While the dressing chills, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Set aside to cool and crumble.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed greens, 1 ripe avocado (diced), 4 slices of ripe tomatoes (thickly sliced), and the crumbled bacon.
  5. Just before serving, drizzle the desired amount of chilled dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
