Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pkg of romaine lettuce or 1 head of romaine
1 good size tomato cut up
1 red onion halved nd sliced
1- 2 soft avocados
1/2 pkg bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
1 pkg crumbled feta cheese
1 lemon (this is to rub the avocado with)
1 pkg croutons if desired
DRESSING
3/4 c olive oil
1/4 c red wine vinegar
4 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1-2 clove garlic chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Make the dressing mix all ingredients in a shake bottle, and let sit a few hours in fridge before using or even better overnight. I think the dressing is best the next day. It gives the garlic time to infuse the oil and vinegar. Also the dressing is delicious on other salads. If refrigerating overnight. Take bottle of dressing out of fridge two hours before using. Some of the oil may have solidified. Let oil soften. Shake well to dress salad. The reason for refrigerating is the raw garlic in it.
  • 2. Fry the bacon until crisp.
  • 3. Chop and rinse the romaine lettuce and dry it.
  • 4. Chop avocado and rub with lemon so it doesn't turn color.
  • 5. Chop the red onion and dice the tomato.
  • 6. Combine all vegetables and avocado in serving bowl. Sprinkle with bacon and feta cheese. Dress with the red wine dressing. Add croutons if wanted.

Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, And Avocado Salad Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bacon, romaine lettuce, cherry tomato, cucumber, avocados, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, lemon

Provided by Robert Broadfoot

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 strips bacon
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
2 handfuls cherry tomato, or grape tomatoes, halved
½ cucumber
2 avocados, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crispy. Drain on a paper towel, then set aside.

  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, and lemon juice to form the dressing.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that are ripe but not overripe. Overripe avocados will be too mushy and will not hold their shape in the salad.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon is best for this salad. It will add a nice smoky flavor and crispy texture.
  • Make sure the romaine lettuce is fresh and crisp: Wilted or limp lettuce will not taste good in the salad.
  • Use a good quality vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is what will bring all the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of vinaigrette goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and oily.

Conclusion:

This avocado, bacon, and romaine salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is loaded with healthy ingredients, such as avocados, bacon, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. The vinaigrette adds a nice tangy flavor to the salad, and the bacon adds a smoky flavor and crispy texture. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
