Mango Bacon Guacamole

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Bacon, Mexican, Recipes, Savory

Guys, today we need to talk about something really important.

Something called…mango bacon guacamole.

Last week, we talked about how important great snacks are to summer fun (um, absolutely critical, obviously). I think the ultimate summer snack has to be chips and guac. Maybe it’s the California girl in me, but I seriously need to be restrained around any form of guacamole. I will eat the whole bowl and go looking for more.

Last summer, I waxed poetic about my all-time favorite kind of salad: panzanella. I mean, it’s a bread salad. What’s not to absolutely love? I made this salad a million times last summer and I don’t see this summer being any different. But while I’m waiting for those perfectly plump tomatoes to hit the farmers market, I decided to whip up a spring version that I have to say I – gasp! – might like better than the original.

I think the giant hunks of thick-cut bacon and the bread toasted up in bacon fat might have something to do with it. Maybe.
