This is the perfect appetizer to let guests help themselves. For another great appetizer, how about my Chocolate Vodka Infused Strawberries!

Julie- these will be great to take to summer potlucks! Avocados and bacon are my favorite! Thanks for the recipe!
My husband ate almost the whole thing himself! It was fun and easy to do. Thank you Michelle!
I need this recipe!! I’m giving a summer party aka son’s going away to college party and this fits the bill, Julie! So fun!
Thank you Angie! John tried to eat the whole thing himself over a couple days LOL!
I so love your creativity Julie! It looks gorgeous! What n easy appetizer! Just perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Su!
Genius way to enjoy the delicious flavors of a BLT! This looks perfect for summer BBQ season!
Thank you Candice! I agree that it’s great for summer.
What a great idea! It looks lovely to serve and has all the great flavors of a BLT minus the carbs:)
Thanks Lily!
What a clever idea…I especially like the sauce bowl in the middle of the lettuce.
Thank you Karen! I was sure an easy clean up when the goodies were gone too.
This is just great!!! Love the Avocado sauce made with yogurt,it’s a super variation from the Guacamole and the mini BLT skewers look too cute..
Thank you Shailaja! It was pretty and fun to do.
What a great spin on BLT Julie, I love that there are no carbs going on in this colorful, festive and gorgeous looking salad. Trying to cut back on carbs and desserts, an ever-challenging struggle for me 🙂 The bacon had to have a great crunch to it, I’d pop a few of those in my mouth and be done with lunch. Very nice indeed, and that avocado sauce……yummmm!
Thank you Loretta! They tasted just like our beloved sandwich without the bread. Can’t go too crisp on the bacon though or it will break off the skewer. I HAD to eat a few that didn’t make it. Enjoy your day!
This looks wonderful, Julie!
Thank you Patti!
Oh gosh, this is so fun, Julie! Happy FF!
Mollie
Thanks Mollie! Happy FF to you too!
This recipe looks great! I’ve made avocado sauce before, and my family loves it!
Thank you Lauren!
I love how you displayed the skewers, Julie! It’s so pretty. And what a great take on a BLT. Very clever! I could probably eat that whole dish of avocado sauce myself. And then there’s the bacon. So much goodness in one appetizer! 🙂
Thank you Shari! It was fun to make, and John worked on finishing it off all by himself. The avocado sauce was really good and even lasted a couple days. I could definitely use that with other dishes too. Enjoy your weekend and I always love you stopping by and supporting me.
I’m always up for anything with bacon, lol. This is such a great appy idea, Julie.
Thank you Natalie! Bacon is always good in our house too!
I saw this idea on Pinterest recently but not with a yummy avocado sauce. Anything with bacon gets my approval!
Thanks Judi! Gosh Judi I should have looked on Pinterest! Maybe I’ve seen it and it was in the recesses of my mind?
These are so gorgeous! A fantastic idea I’ll definitely be trying out this summer 🙂
Love this, Julie, and that avacado sauce looks fabulous!!
Thanks Anna! It is so easy and delicious!
Julie, I love this! It’s almost too pretty to eat… almost. 😉
Julie, this is so pretty – a masterpiece ! Who would dare to ruin it? 🙂
Are you kidding? Any bacon loving man of course! And then meeeeeeee! Thanks Ana!
