Avocado Bacon Cheddar Bowl

Instructions:

1. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the diced avocado and gently fold it in to avoid mashing.
3. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
4. Drizzle the avocado dressing over the bowl and toss lightly until the ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
6. Top with chopped cilantro or chives just before serving for a fresh finish.

Variations :

• Spicy version: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with jalapeño ranch dressing.
• Creamier texture: Mix in a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt with the avocado dressing.
• Low-dairy option: Use a dairy-free cheese and an avocado-lime vinaigrette instead of a creamy dressing.
• Add protein: Include diced grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs for a heartier meal.
• Brighten it up: Add a splash of lime juice or a few cherry tomatoes for added acidity and color.

Tips :

• Use a just-ripe avocado for best texture—it should be firm enough to dice but soft enough to be creamy.
• Pat the cucumber slices dry before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
• If you’re prepping ahead, toss the avocado with a little lemon or lime juice to slow browning.
• For extra texture, top with roasted pepitas or sunflower seeds.
• Serve chilled for maximum crispness and freshness.
