How to Make Bacon Avocado Tomato Salad

Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
Gently toss 2 ripe avocados (diced) with the vinaigrette.
Add 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (halved), 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped), and the crumbled bacon to the avocados. Gently fold to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves.
