Avocado Bacon Boats (Stanley Kropf)

A Story
Avocado Bacon Boats is the salad recipe we turn to when we want to make a meal special. It's a favorite at Christmas, Easter, or any other holiday; for more ordinary occasions it's sometimes the main course, served with corn chips. The combination of bacon, tomato, and green onion with avocado is sure to please.


Recipe
12 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained and coarsely crumbled
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 avocados, halved and pitted
​
In bowl, combine crumbled bacon, sour cream, tomato, green onion, lemon juice and salt. Carefully scoop out avocado halves, leaving a firm shell. Dice the avocado meat. Fold into bacon mixture. Spoon into avocado shells and serve immediately.
