BBQ Bacon Broccoli Avocado Salad

Bacon is always a great addition to add to any salad, and then bacon along with the barbecue sauce totally enhances the flavor 100% in this scrumptious salad giving it a bit of a southern tangy flavor. 

BBQ Bacon Broccoli Avocado Salad

We ran to the grocery store (our new favorite here is Texas, H.E.B) to stock up on meat for our freezer and as we were checking out all the amazing items this store has, we sampled a tasty salad that was being handed out that was made by Lisa, the manager, of that department. Oh man, it was delicious. I grabbed the recipe card and knew I would change it up a bit. This is the results, a super satisfying salad loaded with bacon, broccoli, avocados, cheese, some red onions, grated carrots, and a few diced tomatoes. Talk about fabulous, so far, everyone that has tasted this terrific salad has fallen in love with this recipe.

A Perfect southern style salad

First off make the sauce. Super simple, just mix the barbecue sauce and mayonnaise together. Pop in the fridge to chill and start making the rest of the salad. Fry up the bacon until crispy, then crumble 5 pieces and save a few for the topping. I like cutting the broccoli florets right up to the stem so they are definitely bite size or smaller. Next, toss them into a large mixing bowl along with the bacon. Then add the remaining ingredients, mix, add the sauce and place in the fridge to chill. Once the BBQ bacon broccoli avocado salad has chilled, sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon on top and enjoy. Seriously, such a tasty and simple salad recipe that the whole family will enjoy.

    I love that your recipes are so simple and do not require expensive ingredients. This looks really good. Can I use turkey bacon instead?
