There was an appetizer called B.L.A.S.T Balls which included a tomato cut in 4th and then had lettuce, bacon and slices of avocados laid in it. The idea was amazing, his presentation....was not. I knew in my heart that I could make it better. Here is my version.
Here is the recipe
Lindsey's Exploding Tomato Salad
(serving size 2)
2 small hass avocados
4 small (on the vine) tomatoes
1 chicken breast (pound til chicken is thin)
1/2 can jumbo olives
2 cups fresh spinach
6 slices of turkey bacon (cook and crumble)
1/2 tbs Monterey Steak Seasoning
dash of garlic powder
1/2 tbs lemon juice
Newmans own light balsamic vinaigrette
4 skewers
*Sprinkle steak seasoning on chicken and cook in skillet (6 minutes per side).
*While chicken is cooking mash up avocados and add bacon, garlic powder, lemon juice. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
*Cut top of tomatoes and scoop out all seeds and innards.
*Place avocado mix in tomatoes
*After chicken is cooked thoroughly slice in thin slices
*Plate up a heaping cup of spinach and drizzle vinaigrette
*grab skewers and randomly add filled tomatoes, olives, chicken
*Place over salad
*Enjoy
This is probably the most beautiful meal I have ever made. The colors are vibrate and it was very healthy. The avocados mixed with the bacon and tomatoes is such a great flavor. It was so easy. I am truly proud! I hope everyone tries it! The next time I have anyone over I will definitely whip this recipe out.

I loved watching the next food network star. I completely forgot it was on last night and when Shad told me who won I was like why didnt you tell me it was on? and he said he did tell me but I must not have heard him because I was upstairs on the computer. I love food network so fun to watch. WHat you made looks so yummy and healthy.
I love Food Network Star. Although, I don't have cable. It's good though, 'cause I would spend too many hours of the day froze in front of it. Anyways, I love the recipe you've posted. I am going on a low cal diet. Gotta lose that baby fat. Although, I'm not doing too well. Plus, with the move within the month, and the cross country drive. Plus, not getting into Georgia until end of October. Plus, all that holiday goodness cooking. Yeah, I think I've got a lot of excuses ;)
yay! its marvelous.
