Turkey Bacon Avocado Salad
This fresh salad is the perfect mix of salty crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and light greens.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about the combination of savory turkey and smoky bacon in a crisp salad. It feels like a fancy lunch but takes only a few minutes to throw together when you are in a rush.
I love serving this on busy weekdays because it is filling enough to be a main course. My best tip is to wait until the very last second to slice your avocado so it stays bright green and beautiful on the plate.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy
- 8 ounces of cooked turkey breast, cubed or shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 cups of mixed salad greens

💡 Tips
If you want to make this ahead of time, keep the dressing and avocado separate until you are ready to eat. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for one day, but the salad is best enjoyed fresh.
