• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

16 strips thick cut bacon (cooked*)

½ medium avocado (peeled, pitted, and chopped)

2 ounces cream cheese (softened)

2 tablespoons basil pesto

1 teaspoon lemon juice

4 cups baby arugula

48 cherry tomatoes

Toothpicks

Directions

Begin by cutting each slice of cooked bacon into three equal pieces. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, use a fork to thoroughly mash together the avocado, cream cheese, pesto, and lemon juice. Put the mixture into a piping bag or plastic baggie. Cut off one corner of the baggie with scissors.

Assemble each bite by piping a line of the avocado-pesto mixture onto a strip of bacon. Top with 2 or 3 leaves of arugula and a cherry tomato. Secure the bacon and arugula around the tomato with a toothpick. Repeat for all of the bites.
