Good wholesome deliciousness! That is what this Tomato Avocado Salad Stack is! Slices of garden ripe tomato and avocado sprinkled with grilled corn and crispy bacon all topped with a homemade buttermilk dressing full of flavor from fresh herbs.

I have been eating this salad on quite a regular basis the last few weeks! It is so easy to make and so delicious my mouth waters just thinking about it. This Tomato Avocado Salad Stack is satisfying enough to be lunch on it’s own or pair it up with a grilled steak or grilled chicken.

The components of this recipe are basic and fresh ingredients. The homemade salad dressing is one that you will want to use on all your salads!

Naturally, Grumpy would not eat this because of the avocado. However, he loved the grilled corn and I have become quite the expert on grilling my corn over the last few weeks! For me however, this recipe is definitely a keeper. I love avocado and everything else in this recipe just goes really well with it. Low-carb, fresh, delicious. Who could ask for more?
