This is a salad I whipped up with ingredients that needed to be used and it created a surprisingly happy accident! It is so full of flavor and crunch, and is filling enough to be eaten alone (thanks to the bacon, croutons, avocado, pine nuts, and goat cheese!). The dressing is light and everything all together is a party in your mouth! You’ll love it!
