INGREDIENTS

****Dressing

· 3/4 cup mayonnaise

· 1/4 cup milk

· ½ teaspoon garlic powder

· ½ teaspoon onion powder

· ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and fine-grained kosher salt, to taste

***Salad

· 1 pound bacon (Jerry Meat's "double-smoked" is my favorite)

· 1 head romaine lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bit-size pieces

· 1 pint of cherry tomatoes, cut in half

· 1 avocado, peeled, deseeded and cubed

· 2 cups Italian Seasoned Croutons (or make your own)

METHOD

Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium-heat, cool, crumble and set aside.

In a large bowl whisk mayonnaise, milk, garlic & onion powder and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste, and if needed, season dressing with salt and pepper.

Add to the same bowl the lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, avocado and croutons; toss with dressing, and serve immediately. - Enjoy!
