Your favorite sandwich made into a healthy BLT Chopped Salad with Avocado and topped off with a sweet lime vinaigrette dressing!With spring being so close I can taste it, I have salads on the brain.  Not only do they make great meals in the warmer months but are also amazingly easy side dishes to pair with any meal.  If you’re looking for a great salad to bring to Easter dinner, look no further than this BLT Chopped Salad with Avocado!  Side note: I also have many Easter desserts you should check out.  Just saying…

Creative salads and lighter foods become a staple in the spring and summer months and this one is a new favorite. It’s very hard for me to find a vegetable I love, but I was all about this salad!  I love a good chopped salad in my old age (ha, ha).  I made this salad even easier and faster to put together by using Tuttorosso diced tomatoes.  Of course, you can feel free to use fresh diced tomatoes, but the salad was delicious just how it is!  I use Tuttorosso in just about every recipe that requires tomatoes or tomato sauce.  Have you tried my Greek Chicken Tacos yet made with their tomatoes?  Their products always just taste so fresh and you can tell they are made with quality ingredients (they even taste good straight out of the can which says a lot!).  I’m a creature of habit and like to use the brands I know and trust when cooking.

This BLT Chopped Salad with Avocado recipe is reminiscent of the classic BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwich we all know and love.  This is a wonderful alternative for those of you watching your carb intake, as well!  The sweet, tangy lime vinaigrette paired perfectly with the flavors of the salad.  It’s a simple dressing that I plan on using all spring and summer in different dishes.

Oh, feel free to add some extra bacon…you know….for garnish, and all.  Just putting that out there….
