This recipe we made is probably one of our most simple recipes yet! Since we have completely packed away every last bit of our kitchen, our options for food have become completely limited. The charm of eating out every day for every meal became lost after a few days, so I had to start thinking very creatively. Without bowls, real plates and with only one knife, I had to think a bit out of the box for this delicious meal. Because it is one hundred percent thrown together, it is a true, no-cook recipe. Using pre-cooked, microwavable bacon instead of frying it, this meal can come together in a matter of minutes. Since they are so easy and packed with fun flavor, I am positive that these BLT avocados will be a quick-fix, no-cook hit!
When I first thought of these BLT avocados, I was feeling a bit ambitious. I wanted to make the chicken salad from scratch and fry up the bacon. However, when I peeked around my bare kitchen, I really did not have the time or the materials to do so. Therefore, this super simple and fast meal could easily become a summer favorite in many homes. Using already cooked and prepared bacon and chicken salad from the deli, this recipe is a real winner! I mean, who wants to be slaving away in the kitchen on a hot summer day, anyway? Whether your summer is fast paced or laid back, these BLT avocados would be the perfect treat to enjoy without the hassle of making a kitchen dirty.
When we took the first bite, we loved how these avocados were both creamy and crisp. With so many fun flavors packed into one amazing avocado half, it was hard not to eat a few more! With only a little guilt from the bacon, these BLT avocados are not only effortless, but they are also good for you too!
With a few fantastic shortcuts, these BLT avocados will be sure to please kids and adults alike. They are so fun to make and even more fun to eat! Whether you need a meal fast before you jump into the pool, or you want a simple and light meal to enjoy outside, these BLT avocados are for you! Because they are no-cook and no-fuss, they are the best thing to eat when you would rather enjoy a warm summer night instead of a mess in the kitchen. We hope you try them and if you do, let us know what you think!

Really dig this short cut you guys came up with. Nice to see I can make a healthish dish in a matter of minutes yet somehow incorporate bacon. All your recipes are great, but it’s refreshing to truly see a hack type recipe that can be done after a hard days work.
