Bacon, Avocado & Goat Cheese Salad With Dijon Dressing

This is a wonderful salad to accompany many main courses--quiche, steak & garlic mashed potatoes--or all by itself for a relatively healthful and delicious lunch or dinnner. I have made this salad a number of times for friends and family, and everyone loves it.
