Avocados with Warm Bacon Parsley Vinaigrette Recipe

"A great little recipe from Sunset magazine. With all the bacon and fat, you might want to serve this with low-cal accompaniments! But sure is good to indulge once in a while! The citrusy vinaigrette helps cut the richness of the avocado and the bacon just adds... well... goodness!!!"
