My husband loves anything with bacon. I don’t make it very often, but when I do I try to make it as healthy as I can. So I found this tasty recipe that includes avocados along with the bacon. Avocados are an excellent source of good fat. Nice to know some fat is good! ![🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jdecked/twemoji@15.0.3/assets/1f642.svg)
You’ll need:
8 ounces cooked pasta
1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes
6 slices crispy cooked bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper
1 teaspoon of dried dill
Cook the pasta and fry up the bacon … then let cool.
In a bowl whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dill together.

If you are making this salad for a later date add the avocado 30 minutes before serving so it doesn’t get brown. That’s it, simple as can be. It’s really tasty too. ![🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jdecked/twemoji@15.0.3/assets/1f642.svg)
