It's salad season!

I love eating salad year-round, but obviously people tend to eat them more in the summer, so I plan on getting some more salad recipes up here in the next few months. Stay tuned.

This spinach bacon and avocado salad recipe is perfect for a hearty entree salad (it's quite filling), but it would also work great as a side salad.

The pretty colors and bounty of veggies (and bacon and cheese haha) would make this the perfect crowd-pleasing salad to bring to a BBQ or potluck this summer. It's quick and simple to make.

This avocado and bacon salad is loaded with plenty of other tasty morsels - mini bocconcini (mozzarella balls), sweet little tomatoes, and red onions.

The honey mustard dressing can be whipped up in a flash. The flavors are a popular family favorite, and the chopped parsley that I added to it gives it a burst of freshness.

Ingredients

6 strips bacon cut into small pieces
12 ounces little tomatoes (e.g. grape or cherry) cut into halves
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
2 avocados diced
3.5 ounces mini bocconcini
2 tablespoons red onion chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Dressing:

1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch of garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut bacon into small pieces (I use kitchen shears to make this easy) and add it to a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until crispy (about 10-12 minutes). Once it's cooked, discard the fat or save it for another use.
Meanwhile, prep your other salad ingredients and add them to a large salad bowl.
Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
Toss salad with dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

As always, adjust salad dressing ingredients to your tastes (e.g. add more lemon or oil).
Serves 2 as a main course or 4+ as a side salad.
