Ingredients

4 slices bacon
3 avocados, halved and pitted
1/2 bunch watercress, stems trimmed
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Lay the bacon in a saute pan and bake for 15 minutes, until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and let it drain for a couple of minutes.

Scoop out each half of the avocado using an oversized spoon and arrange on a platter. Scatter the watercress over the avocado and crumble the bacon over the top. Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

The Best and Good for you!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful recipe, avocado is so good for you and Watercress is such an impressive salad dish. I've never had a... reason to buy Watercress and now I'm bugging the produce people in town to keep it in stock. Thank you Tyler for another AWESOME, healthy recipe (you can also use Turkey Bacon).... I served this with Salmon Sandwiches on Sourdough bread/bacon/avocado. My husband LOVED this meal.Read more

simple but so good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everything is so well balanced and so healthy...well maybe not the bacon. But it's still soooo good.

Absolutely delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this after watching him make it on the show, and I've made it countless times since then!! Love it, love it, love... it!!! We've eaten it as a side dish, a light lunch, or even a late-night snack. It's delicious! Sometimes, when I can't find decent-looking watercress, I substitute arugula, which works pretty well. Thanks, Tyler!Read more
