Ingredients

• 8 Strips bacon, drained
• 2 Heads butterhead lettuce, torn
• 4 Ears sweet corn, kernels sliced
• 1 Bunch green onions, minced
• 1 Red bell pepper, minced
• 2 Whole avocados, peeled
• 0.67 Cups red wine vinegar salad dressing
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) blue cheese salad dressing
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey

Steps

1. In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it is evenly browned and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the torn butterhead lettuce, sliced corn kernels, minced green onions, and minced red bell pepper. Gently fold in the peeled avocado, being careful not to mash it.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey until well combined and smooth.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the salad for added crunch and flavor.

Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful salad as a main dish or a side, and savor the perfect harmony of savory, sweet, and tangy elements.
