Ingredients
Scale
Skewers
- 12 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp and cut into thirds
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups romaine lettuce leaves, torn into small pieces
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1-inch cubes and toasted
- Wooden or metal skewers
Avocado Sauce
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the skewers: Thread one piece of bacon, a cherry tomato, a piece of lettuce, and a cube of toasted bread onto each skewer. Continue repeating this pattern until the skewer is full, leaving space at the ends for easy handling.
- Make the avocado sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Transfer the avocado sauce to a small bowl for dipping. Serve the skewers arranged on a platter with the sauce on the side, or lightly drizzle the sauce over the skewers before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the bread cubes with olive oil and garlic before toasting.
- Substitute romaine lettuce with butter lettuce or baby spinach for variation.
- To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free bread cubes instead of baguette.
