Avocado and Bacon Salad
Oh, I really do love this salad. I always make the dressing first. Start with about 1/4 of a ripe avocado. Cut it up small.

Smash the avocado bits with a fork. The smoother you get the avocado, the smoother the dressing will be. You could use a blender or food processor for really smooth dressing but I like the bits of avocado.
Make it as smooth as you like.

Chop the vegetables and combine them all in a bowl. I like everything chopped small so I don't have to fight with anything to get it into my mouth. :D

Top with some tortilla strips or crunched up tortilla chips and then...
pour on the dressing!

Toss it all together and dig in!
Ahhhhhhhhh.....the deliciousness!
