I hope you all know what pregnancy brain is….because I have a big fat case of it right now.

Let me explain.

This salad is the bomb and I randomly came up with the idea one day….or so I thought.

As I was making it to have with our dinner a few nights ago, I was thinking of how I came up with the idea. I thought maybe I had dreamt it {because that happens sometimes…weird, I know} or maybe I just randomly came up with it because my husband asked for strawberry salad and I had a zillion avocados to use.

Anyways, I kept making it still wondering how the heck this recipe got into my brain and couldn’t figure it out.

Well, fast forward to yesterday when I was on Pinterest and I saw a recipe I pinned from Maria for her Kale, Strawberry & Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing from when she first posted it.

Umm….problem solved?! I’m such an idiot.

I know Maria pretty well. I go to her site frequently. I love all her cookie recipes. Her little boy makes my womb quiver….and I think subconsciously got me pregnant with a boy.

And, I couldn’t remember that she gave me the idea to throw avocados into my strawberry salad.

LOSER.

I’m such a doofas and I cannot deny it.

I’ve told you all before that my memory is crap and this CLEARLY just proves my point.

So, be sure to check out Maria’s recipe because she is the genius behind this one.

You can give me credit for the bacon, but that’s about it! Haha. Here’s how you make this:

Start by cooking some bacon. I only used two slices for the dressing, but feel free to add in more! I had four slices left in my package, so I just cooked them all. Don’t mind this misleading photo.

Next, measure out all your ingredients for the dressing: mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, salt and pepper.

Crumble your bacon into the dressing and that’s it!

Drizzle over some kale, avocado and strawberries and you’re done! This is my husband’s new favorite salad, probably because he likes sweet dressings. And bacon. And strawberries.

So, there you have it! A super simple and tasty salad. Here’s the printable! Enjoy!
