Ingredients
- 8 slices Low sodium bacon
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Cucumber
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 1 whole Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lay the slices of low sodium bacon on the sheet without overlapping, and bake for 10 minutes or until crispy.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the salad by washing and drying the mixed greens and placing them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber thinly, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the salad bowl with the mixed greens.
Step 5
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, slice it, and add to the salad.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder to make the dressing.
Step 7
Once the bacon is done and crispy, remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 8
Add the chopped bacon to the salad, drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with crumbled feta cheese if desired.
