This salad is extra-delicious with the crispy bacon bits on top.  I added it as an afterthought and it was a good thought, turns out! I crumbled the very crispy bacon into tiny bits and sprinkled them on top of the salad.  It just took the flavors and texture a little over the top!

How to ripen avocados...after many years (and wasting avocados...shhh!), I figured it out.  Place in a bag or paper bag with an open end in the pantry or cupboard (i.e. a dark place) and wait until they ripen to the point that you can press the avocados and make a very slight indentation with your finger....maybe that's not the right word.  It will give a little under the pressure of your finger. :)  Place in the refrigerator and use when desired.  You could use it in a week or two weeks and it will still be lovely, fresh and green.  Try it!
