Instructions
Chop the bacon into pieces.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy.
While the bacon is cooking, divide the salad greens among four plates.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and divide evenly among the plates.
When the bacon is cooked, drain it on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool.
Slice the avocados.
Divide the avocados, goat cheese if using, and bacon evenly among the plates.
To make the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a mason jar.
Shake to combine.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over each salad, serve, and enjoy!

You can make extra vinaigrette and store it in the refrigerator to save time on the next salad or try it as a marinade for chicken or fish!
