Ingredients
12ozbacon(uncooked weight), chopped, omit for vegan version
Cook bacon according to package instructions, drain off extra grease, and dice or crumble. Allow the bacon to cool.

Make the dressing- In a small bowl, mash the avocados first then add the other sauce ingredients.
Add the dressing to the salad and stir until well combined. Serve.
Notes
-Cook the bacon by dicing it first, then add it to a frying pan on medium for about 10-12 minutes until it was crispy. -If you’re making this for a potluck or BBQ or just want to make it ahead of time in general: You can make most of it ahead of time but wait to add the apples and make the sauce, since avocados and apples brown pretty quickly-Make sure the avocados are ripe so they are easy to mash when you make the dressing. -Make sure everything is bite-sized so the dressing coats the salad evenly.
