This hearty salad can serve as a satisfying light main course on its own – or it can be paired with another low-carb entree, such as Garlic-Herb Roasted Chicken and some streamed broccoli for a more well-rounded meal.
This is one of my hubby’s favorite salads! He loves the homemade blue cheese dressing and hard boiled eggs. Of course, everything is better with bacon too!
Tip: For best results, prepare the homemade blue cheese dressing the night before to give the flavors a chance to blend.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: n/a
Serves: 6
Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 T. avocado mayonnaise
- 2 oz. blue cheese, crumbles
- 2 T. Greek yogurt

- 2-3 T. half & half (optional)
Ingredients:

- 2 large avocados, diced
- 3 strips sugar-free bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled

Directions:
- To make the blue cheese dressing, combine the avocado mayonnaise, blue cheese, Greek yogurt, sour cream, and garlic salt in a medium glass or other non-reactive bowl.
