Blue Cheese and Dill Dressing:
- Mix all ingredients together.
Croutons:
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Toss bread cubes with remaining ingredients. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake 10-15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool.
Assembly:
- Combine cherry tomato halves, sliced cucumber, sliced radish, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a large bowl. Toss to combine, then marinate for 5-10 minutes.
- Cut the bottoms off the Frisée and separate the leaves. Combine the Frisée, diced avocado, chopped bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and 12 ounces of the Blue Cheese and Dill Dressing. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Add more dressing if needed.
- For each plate, layer the salad mixtures—first tomato cucumber mix, then Frisee mix—repeat once. Top each salad with about 1/3 cup croutons.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
