I was skeptical about the combination of spinach, apples, avocado, and bacon, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors and textures all worked together perfectly. I especially loved the crunch of the apples and the creaminess of the avocado.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The sweetness of the apples and the creaminess of the avocado balanced out the salty bacon and tangy dressing. I will definitely be making this again.
