Avocados 3 for a dollar.  How could I pass those up? They were a bit over-ripe but still tasty...and cheap. One I used for this salad and the other two will make a delicious guacamole. My husband loves avocado so he was very pleased with this filling salad.

Mix the oil and vinegar in the bottom of a large salad bowl.  Toss the lettuce, until thoroughly coated, in the vinaigrette and separate into two serving bowls or plates.

Top the lettuce with about a handful of tomatoes then sprinkle on half of the bacon per salad. Lastly top with the avocado (half for each salad).

Serve and enjoy.
