    THE GOOD FAT: Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fats, a type of good fat that supports heart health. Additionally, this fruit is rich in pantothenic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin that’s essential for the production of red blood cells and for breaking down fats and carbohydrates for energy.

    Ingredients

    Bowl

    • 8 3/4-oz slices bacon, no added nitrites or nitrates, chopped
    • 5 oz boneless skinless turkey or chicken breast, sliced
    • 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil mayonnaise, divided
    • sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
    • 2 hard-boiled eggs
    • 1 cup finely chopped romaine lettuce
    • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
    • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
    • ¼ cup diced green onions
    • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles, optional

    Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing

    • 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil mayonnaise
    • 2 tbsp chicken bone broth
    • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tsp dried chives
    • 1/4 tsp each dried dill, garlic powder and onion powder
    • 1/8 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper

    Preparation

    1. Prepare bowl: In a cast iron skillet on medium-high, add bacon and cook until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl, reserving drippings in pan. Add turkey to pan; cook until no longer pink, turning once, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

    2. To bowl with turkey, stir in 2 tbsp mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mash eggs with remaining 1 tbsp mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper.

    3. Place lettuce at the bottom of 4 bowls. Divide avocado, turkey mixture and egg mixture among bowls. Top each bowl with bacon, tomato and green onions.

    4. Prepare Ranch Dressing: In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and mix well to combine. Drizzle each bowl with 2 tbsp dressing. Garnish with blue cheese (if using).
