Preparation
Chef’s notes
Because this salad has lettuce and avocado, it is best the day it is made. If you are taking the salad to a potluck or party, you can even wait to add the avocado and lettuce right before serving. Give it a good toss and serve to your family and friends. It is always a hit!
If you happen to have leftovers, you can store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The lettuce won’t be as crisp and the avocado might brown a little, but it will still be good.
You can make the dressing in advance. Store in a jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Whisk before adding to the salad.
You can also make the bacon in advance. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
