Ingredients
- 1 head Curly leaf lettuce
- 2 Avocado
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the curly leaf lettuce thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, scoop out the flesh, and slice into thin wedges. Add the avocado slices to the bowl of lettuce.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the salad bowl with the lettuce and avocado.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the salad as a final garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful salad!
