Love a good bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich? Want to ditch the carbs in the bread? In order to justify eating bacon I need to find a way to offset some of the calories. The addition of the spinach, lettuce and avocado help me do just that. Great for summer, after a busy day or a simple brunch on the weekend this salad is the answer to all your time restrictions. Enjoy! #salad #chicken #Veggies

Marilyn, who doesn’t love a good BLT! This one looks so yummy that now you have me wanting to go to the fridge! Pinning and tweeting.
Thank you so much Mary! I had this for dinner tonight. Delicious! Have a great week!
I don’t eat salad unless there’s meat on it. True story 😉 This looks delish! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!
You are my kind of gal Angie! Have a great week!
Marilyn, love a great Blt, in fact we had them this week with a wedge salad on the side. DUH! I could have thrown it all into one entree and not had to make two items! DUH! Especially since good gluten free bread is so expensive! Thanks for the idea!
You are welcome. My new rule is ONE plate per person for a meal. LOL.
I need to cut back on my carbs and this sounds perfect for lunch/dinner.
I always cut back on carbs this time of year. My body goes into hibernation mode too soon!
Wow, that is simply the most glorious salad I’ve ever seen! Love it! Thanks for sharing with us this week at Throwback Thursday!
Mollie
I love you Mollie! You are so easy to please. You can come to my house for dinner anytime.

Thank you Audrey. Bacon is really a great salad addition.
Marilyn, this salad is right up my alley! It also reminds me of Chik-Fil-A’s chicken strip salad which I often crave lol xo
You are the second person to make that connection. I guess I need to check out Chik-fil-a!
It would be awesome if I could magically make this appear on my dinner table today! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend!
I know. I haven’t perfected that Bewitched nose twitch yet.
Looks wonderful Marilyn! Of course you had to say the key word several times…..Bacon. My mouth is watering now. LOL
My secret passion is not cheesecake. It is bacon. shhh! Don’t blow my cover!
