For less calories try using Greek yogurt in the dressing instead of olive oil. It tastes great!

I cooked 9 slices of bacon, two avocados, flash-fried the B Sprouts in a small amount of bacon grease, and added about a TBS of bacon grease to dressing in lieu of salt. A gorgeous, wonderful side that we ate as main course. Course ground pepper a great choice.

Way to much salt in this. Would dramatically reduce salt content next time

Loved this!!! 1. I halved the recipe and served with rotisserie chicken. It made for a super quick, easy and filling meal. 2. I followed the tips and reduced the salt in the dressing. I eyeballed the whole recipe, but I’d say I used about 1 tsp kosher salt. 3. I added 1/8 of a red onion because I had it. It was a great addition!
