Outdoor entertaining season is upon us! This means warmer weather, longer days, and potlucks! Today I’m sharing my new favorite side dish for potlucks, Bacon Avocado Potato Salad.

Whether I’m headed to a potluck or entertaining outdoors at home, I always got for recipes that are quick, easy, affordable to make, and tasty! That’s where Hormel Foods BLACK LABEL® Bacon comes in. I love using quality, affordable ingredients like BLACK LABEL® Bacon that packs a lot of flavor. This product line includes original bacon, fully cooked bacon, thick cut bacon, and Canadian bacon. In this recipe for Bacon Avocado Potato Salad I used their original bacon.

Here’s all of the ingredients you’ll need for this Bacon Avocado Potato Salad Recipe:

Cook’s Note – Bacon Avocado Potato Salad:

• Keep a close watch on the potatoes when you’re cooking them. You don’t want to overcook them and end up with a mushy potato salad!
• The potato salad will keep, chilled and covered, for up to 3 days.
• I like to slice the bacon before cooking so I get those lovely, golden edges on each piece. Heavenly.
