Ingredients

• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon water, or as needed
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Salad:

• 4 slices bacon
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups fresh mixed greens, rinsed and dried
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ cup cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices

Directions

• Step 1 Combine avocado, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small food processor. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Add water or milk to thin out dressing to desired consistency. Set aside.
• Step 2 Cook bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool; crumble into small pieces.
• Step 3 Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Add eggs; cover and cook until whites are set and yolks are barely set, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Step 4 Divide mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and bacon crumbles between 2 plates. Drizzle in desired amount of avocado dressing. Top each salad with an egg. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note:

Substitute milk for the water if desired.
