3. Toss in the arugula, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, diced avocados, and toss once more. Serve at room temperature.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use Ripe Avocados: Choose avocados that are soft but not overripe. This ensures a creamy texture without becoming mushy.
• Gently Toss Ingredients: Mix the salad components gently to maintain their distinct textures and prevent over-mashing.
• Serve at Room Temperature: For optimal flavor and texture, let the salad sit at room temperature before serving.
• Opt for High-Quality Blue Cheese: Use a well-aged blue cheese for a richer, more complex flavor that enhances the salad.
