apple, bacon & avocado salad
Sweet crunchy apple slices, creamy avocado, chewy-crisp salty bacon, all tossed with sturdy romaine … a perfect balance of flavors and textures, guaranteed to please even the most reluctant salad-eaters.

1/2 red apple
1/2 a small avocado
2 slices of thick bacon
6-7 leaves of romaine lettuce, about 2.5-3 oz.

cider vinaigrette
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
4 tsps. extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp. honey
¼ tsp. coarse-grain mustard
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

1 Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl or screw-cap jar, and whisk or shake until well-mixed. Taste, and adjust seasonings as desired.

2 Cook up the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, until crisp on the edges and nicely browned, but still with some flexibility in the middle (in other words: don’t let it burn). Drain on a paper towel, then chop up the bacon into 1/2" chunks.

3 Core the apple and cut into thin slices. Pit and peel the avocado, and slice that up as well. Roughly chop up the romaine into bite-size pieces. Toss the lettuce into a big bowl. Reserve a few slices of apple and avocado, and slide the rest into the bowl along with the lettuce. Toss with enough dressing to suit your tastebuds. Arrange the reserved apple and avocado slices on top; sprinkle on the bacon. Enjoy!
