Instructions
Step 1: Add the dressing ingredients to a jar. Shake, then set aside for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 2: Put all the salad ingredients except the bacon in a large bowl. Drizzle with most of the dressing and toss well.
Step 3: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle with bacon and serve immediately.
Notes
To make the salad ahead, assemble it without cutting the avocado and keep the dressing separate. Once dressed, the leafy greens can start to soften after around 30 minutes. Cut the avocado just before serving.
For a packed portion, keep the avocado whole until serving. If you need to cut it ahead, drizzle the cut surface with lemon juice and store it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, or store it with half an onion in a very airtight container for up to 3 days.
