BLT Avocado Crunch Salad (Bacon Bliss in Every Bite)

Making a BLT Salad with Avocado is simple. Just cook some bacon until it’s crispy, then mix it with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. For the dressing, chop up tomatoes and mix them with light mayo, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for a bit, and it’s ready to use. 

If you’re taking it to work, layer the ingredients in a jar with tomatoes at the bottom, then avocado and lettuce. Just remember not to keep it for too long or the avocado might turn brown. Adding chopped chives is optional, but it makes it taste even better!

To make the dressing:

Notes

Nutrition Facts:

What Kind of Lettuce is Best For a Chopped BLT Salad?

It’s up to your taste! I like Bibb lettuce because it’s mild and crunchy, like what you’d find in a BLT sandwich. But you can also use romaine or iceberg lettuce for extra crunch, or arugula.

if you want a peppery kick. And if you’re into a bit of bitterness, give chicories like endive or radicchio a try. Lots of choices to make it just right for you.

Can I Add More Stuff to My BLT Salad with Avocado?

Yes! You can toss in crunchy croutons, yummy shredded cheese, or even some grilled chicken for extra protein. Just make it how you like it!
