Salad with Avocado and Bacon

Avocado fans will love this salad. I spotted the recipe a few years ago in a cooking magazine and finally got around to making it. Both my husband and I enjoyed it — and he doesn't even like avocado as a rule. Everything here comes together beautifully: the rich bacon is balanced by the greens, the avocado, and the crisp toasted croutons.
