Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 strips bacon (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 cup raw pecans (whole or pieces)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 large ripe avocado (or two small)
  • 4 small beets (cooked and sliced)
  • 2/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • parsley (optional for topping)
  • freshly cracked black pepper (optional for topping)

Dressing

  • 2/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and use kitchen shears to cut bacon into small pieces directly into the pan. Cook until bacon is crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel lined plate.

  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the butter, brown sugar and raw pecans. Stir almost constantly until sugar is dissolved and nuts begin to smell toasty. About 5 minutes or less.
  3. Empty the pecans onto a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle with salt.

  4. Divide mixed greens evenly amongst four plates. Divide all toppings evenly between the four salads and drizzle each with dressing. I usually use about 2 1/2 tbsp of dressing per salad. Enjoy!
