I must first admit that I’m not really a huge salad person. A little bowl of lettuce with some chopped tomato and cucumber is rabbit food, people.

Nobody really enjoys eating that. Seriously.

No, my salads must be stacked with yummy ingredients. REAL ingredients, like BACON or some sort of protein, veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds.. it just needs some substance. We don’t want to be hungry again in 30 minutes!

Bacon-Avocado Salad With Homemade Ranch Dressing | Dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo friendly!My favorite salad lately has been a spin off a BLT, with crispy pieces of bacon, lettuce (of course), tomato, and some of my other favorite toppings: diced avocado, hard boiled eggs, and cucumber. You can really add any toppings you want, the important thing is that you enjoy eating it! I believe food should be good for you, but it should also taste good too! Who’s with me on that??

I use my homemade mayonnaise as the base, so it’s like, really from scratch! You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten ranch from scratch. Trust me on this, it’s a MUST-TRY!
