To begin making Dale's Bacon Salad, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Arrange the bacon on a tray and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon Dale's seasoning. Cook the bacon about 8-10 minutes, until golden and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove from heat and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, break into 1" pieces.
Next, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of Dale's seasoning, and black pepper. Cut the tomatoes into about 1" thick wedges. .
Finally, arrange on a platter mixed with the avocado and fresh mozzarella slices. Drizzle with the olive oil mixture. Top with bacon and basil leaves. Serve immediately.
Tip: Look for avocados whose skin has already turned black. The avocados should be just soft enough to make a slight indentation with your finger when pressed.
