Ingredients

12 oz bacon strips
8 cups salad greens
2 cups cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
2 avocados (sliced)
4 oz goat cheese (optional)

Vinaigrette

¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 TBSP honey
1½ TBSP Dijon mustard
¼ tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper
¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy.
While the bacon is cooking, divide the salad greens among four plates.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and divide evenly among the plates.
Let the cooked bacon drain on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool.
Divide the avocados, goat cheese if using, and bacon evenly among the plates.
To make the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a mason jar.
Shake to combine.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over each salad, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

You can make extra vinaigrette and store it in the refrigerator to save time on the next salad. It’s also delicious as a marinade for chicken or fish!
