Last week, I shared a simple new favorite soup of ours. This week I wanted to share a favorite salad. This salad is loaded with hard boiled eggs (which some of you may have a few extra after this weekend!), bacon and avocado for a rich and satisfying light main salad or side salad. The eggs break down in the dressing a bit, making it more creamy and flavorful (oh-so-good), the avocado adds richness and good fats, and who doesn’t like bacon?!

It’s a nice lighter main dish salad too that really doesn’t cost much per serving.

And with the eggs,  bacon and avocado, it has a pretty fair amount of high quality protein and fat. If you are vegetarian, eggs and avocado are good too.

I have been making salads like this since the first year of our marriage and it’s always remained a favorite of ours. And while not quite the quintessential Easter salad, it would do nicely in our humble opinion.

I used french green lentils in this recipe, which works so well for salads as they keep their shape very well.
