Directions Show More
- Thaw bacon in the refrigerator one day before use.
- To prepare the dressing, divide ingredients according to blender or food processor size. Place avocado pulp, yogurt, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, vegetable oil, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend and/or pulse to desired consistency. Place ¼ cup (#16 scoop) dressing into 4 oz. soufflé cup with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To brown the bacon, preheat oven to 350° F. Bacon is pre-packaged on sheets of parchment paper. Line full sheet pans with an additional sheet of parchment paper. Place four parchment sheets of bacon in a single layer on each lined pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until bacon begins to brown.
- Using a pizza cutter, make ½” horizontal slices into 6 pieces of bacon at a time. Portion the 6 slices into stacks for ease of salad assembly. Cool in the refrigerator to 40° F within 2 hours.
- Place 2 packed cups of lettuce into a salad container. Top salads with bacon stacks, 1 oz. (2 fl. oz. server) cheese, and ½ cup (4 fl. oz. server) tomatoes. Serve with dressing.
CCP: Hold thawed turkey bacon, dressing and salads at 40° F or lower. Heat cooked bacon to 165° F or higher for 15 seconds.
