  MAKE THE DRESSING: In a blender or food processor combine
  the avocado, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, fresh
  dill, milk, garlic salt, and ground black pepper. Cover
  and blend or process until smooth.
  
  MAKE THE CROUTONS: Set oven @ 300ºF/150ºC.
  
  In a large bowl combine foccacia and olive oil; toss to
  coat. Spread bread cubes evenly in a 15" x 10" x 1" baking
  pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until cubes are crisp,
  stirring once; cool. If desired, store croutons in an
  airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  
  MAKE THE SALAD: In a very large skillet cook bacon in
  batches over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper
  towels; when cool, coarsely crumble or chop bacon. Set
  aside.
  
  In the bottom of a 3  to 4 quart glass bowl, arrange half
  of the Garlicky Focaccia Croutons. Top with half of the
  romaine and half of the spinach. Top with half of the
  tomato slices and half of the bacon. Spread half of the
  Dilled Avocado Dressing over the bacon, sealing dressing
  to the edge of the bowl. Repeat layers, ending with the
  dressing. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for
  up to 8 hours.
