Hi Everyone,
Today for #SundaySupper we are sharing with you recipes that are 5 ingredients or less, not including salt, pepper, oil or water. You have to love simple recipes that do not contain a lot of ingredients. Last weekend as you may have heard I went shopping at the Berkeley Bowl with my #SundaySupper pal Marlene, from Nosh my Way. When we were shopping I saw some beautiful heirloom tomatoes that I just had to buy. I had no idea what I was going to make with them, then the craving hit. I wanted a BLT sandwich, but I didn’t have any bread. That just makes me sad and frankly I am just to lazy to go to the store to buy a loaf of bread. So what does a girl do to kill those cravings? Improvise and make something even better! I saw those little tomatoes on my windowsill and started to chop away to make BLT style salad, but with a little bit more oomph. So today I am sharing with you my Tomato, Avocado and Bacon Salad.
The salad is light, full of flavor and creamy from the avocado. Since I used heirloom tomatoes, and a few of them were super dark red you couldn’t see the bacon. Talk about a surprise when you take a bite. Your like dam, was that bacon? Oh yeah! The bacon adds a little extra love to it, and you know everything tastes better with bacon. I also used some fresh basil from the garden and just a pinch of salt, pepper and olive oil. Super simple tasty salad that makes a perfect side dish or if your like me, you just want to eat the whole bowl.
- 1 lbs. tomatoes, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 small Haas Avocado, pitted, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
- 5 leaves basil, sliced small
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. ground pepper
- Add all ingredients in a bowl, and gently toss until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Note: If not serving for awhile, add avocado just before serving.
I am loving summer produce. My herbs are doing great in the garden and I am patiently waiting for the tomatoes to ripen. Then I can have this salad all summer long.

Have a great Sunday!
