BLT Guacamole
Description
The recipe begins by crisping the bacon in the oven until desired texture is reached, then draining on paper towels to remove excess fat. The ripe avocados are mashed to a variable texture, depending on preference, and mixed with chopped romaine lettuce, quartered grape tomatoes, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, and sea salt. This combination provides a mix of creamy, crunchy, and smoky flavors that distinguishes it from classic guacamole.
BLT Guacamole can be served as a dip with chips, a topping for sandwiches or toast, or as a fresh accompaniment to grilled meats and other dishes needing a creamy element bursting with flavor. The inclusion of crispy bacon and lettuce adds both texture and a smoky-savory contrast to the creamy avocado base.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado ripe
- 1 cup romaine lettuce roughly chopped
- 10 grape tomatoes quartered

- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions

- Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit and use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.

- Add the remaining ingredients and stir together.
