Best Summer Chopped Salad

Summer is a comin’! I am at that time of the year where I am ready for summer. I am ready to sleep in, spend the days with my girls and enjoy some light summer recipes by a pool somewhere.

I recently went out with some girl friends and had the perfect salad that I have been obsessing over since. What was so amazing about this salad? It’s a cobb salad with just the good stuff. You know the good stuff, the toppings that you pick around for that make that perfect bite.

Considering that I do not want to go broke from having to eat out everyday I decided to make my own version. This salad is now a weekly must have and perfect for summer. It is seriously the best summer chopped salad I have ever eaten. It’s so delicious… I may or may not be eating right now!

This salad is super fresh and so easy to make. I can’t wait to go to our favorite farmer’s markets this summer. Fresh tomatoes, delicious!

Here is what you need to make your own:

2 cups chopped cucumber
2 cups chopped roma tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
6 slices chopped bacon
1/2 cup diced avocado
1 can sweet corn drained
2 tablespoons cilantro diced
Favorite Salad Dressing

In a large pot over medium/high heat cook your chopped bacon until crispy. Set aside and let cool. Chop and mix cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and cilantro a large mixing bowl. Rinse and drain the corn and add as well. Once your bacon is cool add it to the vegetable mixture along with the avocado.

*Note: If you make this salad ahead of time, do not mix in the avocado until it’s time to serve.

Drizzle with Your favorite dressing (ours is ranch) and enjoy!
