Ingredients

• Romaine lettuce - 4 cups, chopped
• Avocado - 1 medium, diced
• Bacon - 4 slices, cooked and crumbled
• Cherry tomatoes - 1 cup, halved
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, thinly sliced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat and crumble into pieces.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
5. Top the salad with the crumbled bacon just before serving.
