Crispy Bacon and Avocado Salad image

Categories     Low Protein

Time 11m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large crisp lettuce
8 slices lean bacon

1 eating apple
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

4 tablespoons oil

  • Screw the lid of the jar on tightly and shake the contents well for a minute. Pour into a jug ready to serve.
  • Wash and dry the lettuce. Shred it and put it into the bowl.

  • Cut the rind off the bacon rashers and grill under a low to medium heat for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with no blemishes or bruises. They should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. If the avocados are too hard, they will not be ripe enough and will not have the creamy texture you want for this salad.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will give the salad a nice smoky flavor and add some texture. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.
  • Use a variety of greens: This will add color and flavor to the salad. Some good choices include romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much, the salad will be soggy and bland. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This is best enjoyed fresh. The avocado will start to brown after a while, so it is best to eat the salad as soon as possible after it is made.

Conclusion:

Avocado salad with bacon and sour cream is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy salad, give this recipe a try!
