Step 1

Toss the cherry tomatoes and shallot with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic so it can hang out while you fry the bacon.

Step 2

Fry the bacon until crispy. Set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. Leave the grease in the pan.

Step 3

Add bread to the pan with the bacon grease. Toss the bread over medium heat until golden brown and crispy (uhh, yum). Set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Crumble your bacon.

Step 5

Toss the bacon, bread, avocado, arugula, and basil together gently. Season with more olive oil, balsamic, salt, or pepper as needed. SERVE AND ENJOY!

Chef’s notes

I would recommend cutting the shallot into very thin pieces using a mandoline slicer. Another option:

grate up a clove of garlic and toss it in! I like it both ways.
