This salad came about during a rare moment in my life when I was not quite sure what I wanted to eat. I was sitting staring at the refrigerator while I was working on this site and visualizing what I knew was in the fridge. I could “see” a package of Sam’s Club Caesar Salad Kit, but was not really in the mood for Caesar Salad. I knew there were boiled eggs in there because I had boiled 18 eggs that afternoon while experimenting with my Ninja Foodi and using the pressure setting to boil eggs for the first time, which was a life changer. I doubt I will ever boil eggs any other way again. 4 Minutes under pressure, 4 minutes natural release and then put them in ice water. They practically peel themselves and I have never found any green on the yokes. They are literally perfect and no watching the pot boil or timing how long after I have put a lid on the pot. Just put them in, set the timer and wait for the beep and I had boiled 18 perfect eggs, which were sitting there waiting to be eaten. I knew I had bacon bits in there and avocados, that were ripe.

Suddenly it hit me, cut up the eggs, put in some bacon bits, mash up the avocado, with a little granulated garlic and then mix it all together. There was enough for several people, but I ate every little morsel, or, as my father used to say, “every last ort”. It has become one of my favorite words, just because it’s cute, real and off the wall.

Guacamole Caesar Salad

The mixture here is something I came up with while staring into my refrigerator, actually at my refrigerator, with the door closed. I knew what was in there and was trying to figure a way to use it. I had a Caesar Salad kit in there, but was not really in the mood for Caesar salad. I also had several cheeses, some bacon bits, avocados and eggs. I decided to mash up the avocados, with a little granulated garlic and spray them with olive oil (because I didn't have any lemon and I read Olive Oil would slow the oxidation process), put some bacon bits in there, along with diced boiled eggs, thus came about my Guacamole Caesar Salad. The next day I made it again and took it to a monthly pot luck I attend and it was a massive hit, with at least five people asking who made the salad and wanting the recipe, and thus here it is in our recipes.

Equipment

1 Ninja Foodi
1 Salad Bowl
1 Oil Sprayer

Ingredients

Romaine Lettuce I use the Caesar Salad Kit from Sam’;s Club because it is so much better than the choices at Walmart or Kroger
2 Avocados – Ripe
Garlic Powder (to taste) or Granulated Garlic
Bacon Bits (to taste) Real Bacon Bits
6 Boiled Eggs
Juice of Half a lemon and/or Avocado Oil or Olive Oil Spray

Instructions

Pour the Romaine from the Caesar kit into a bowl
Cut up six boiled eggs
Mash up 2 Avocados with the lemon juice or avocado or olive oil and a sprinkling of granulated or powdered garlic (you can also make any Guacamole recipe of your choosing here).
Put 1 Cup of Parmesan Cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Put however many bacon bits you choose. I love bacon, so I go overboard
Mix it all together, gently

Notes

The notes on this recipe are many and varied. Let’s just say you can make a full on Guacamole or you can just mash up avocado, you can use Parmesan cheese or any cheese of your choice. You can have bacon or chicken, pulled pork or steak bites or any combination you prefer. Go for it your imagination is your only limitation

as for boiling eggs, I have a Ninja Foodi and I will never boil eggs any other way again unless I have to have eggs and do not have access to my Ninja. Merely put a cup of water in the Ninja, put you rack in and place eggs on the rack. I have done as many as 18 at a time. Put the pressure lid on and set the pressure for 4 miniutes with steam release of four minutes then release pressure take eggs out (carefully, they will be hot) and put them in a bowl of ice water. Eggs will be perfect with no green, so easy to peel it’s almost as though they peel themselves.
