Ingredients

  • SALAD INGREDIENTS
  • 8 slices bacon (I prefer thick-cut, hickory-smoked)
  • 1 1/2 bags pre-washed organic field greens or 1 1/2 bags baby greens (enough to cover large shallow serving dish)
  • tomatoes or yellow tomatoes, of different sizes (I use roma, grape, and little yellow ones, again enough to cover dish)
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • DRESSING INGREDIENTS
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • basil, to taste (fresh or dried)
  • garlic, to taste (minced or pressed)
  • 1 dash lime juice
  • 1 dash red wine vinegar
  • 2 dashes olive oil
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Cook bacon until crisp and drain strips on paper towel.
  • Make dressing by mixing mashed avocado through salt and pepper well; adjust ingredients to taste and desired thickness.
  • Arrange greens on platter and lightly salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle greens with half of the dressing.
  • Slice large tomatoes and halve small ones.
  • Arrange tomatoes on top of greens and dressing, biggest on the bottom.
  • Arrange whole bacon strips on top of tomatoes, drizzle with remaining dressing, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve at once!
