• Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and dice the avocado, as shown in photo below. Thinly slice some green onions (or chives), if using.
• Place veggies on top of the salad, along with crumbled cheese, if desired.
• Once bacon is cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle on top of the salad. For a hearty salad, top with leftover roasted or grilled chicken (or turkey).
• Serve with a drizzle of your favorite dressing. We enjoy Kelly's homemade ranch dressing or a creamy vinaigrette. (Blue cheese dressing is another delicious option.)
• Serve with a bowl of hearty soup or a crockpot baked potato for an even more satisfying meal. Enjoy!
