Guacamole Tossed Salad

This recipe is yummy, or as I wrote in the Taste of Home Cookbook that it comes from, "Excellent". It is very similar to the Avocado and Tomato Salad posted on 8/9/2012 except that this recipe incorporates lettuce making it a more standard kind of dinner side. It is very Mexican in flavor, just as the title suggests. I didn't have any red onion so I substituted green onion, which tasted great. The salad is served alongside Chicken Quesadillas which I'll post next week. Blessings...

Recipe:

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 small red onion, sliced and separated into rings or finely chopped
6 bacon strips, fried crisp and crumbled
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsps. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
2 large ripe avocados, peeled and cubed
4 cups torn salad greens

1. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion and bacon.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Pour over tomato mixture; toss gently. Add avocados.
3. Place the greens in a large salad bowl; add the avocado mixture and toss to coat.
Serve immediately
