Bacon Avocado Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
– 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 2 ripe avocados, diced
– 3 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
– ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Creating the Bacon Avocado Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette is a breeze with these simple steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let cool on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
2. Prepare the Chicken: If not already cooked, grill or sauté the chicken breast until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it rest and then shred or dice it.
3. Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well blended.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken, bacon, avocados, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
6. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper as needed, adjusting the vinaigrette for your personal preference.
7. Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the salad right away while the ingredients are fresh.

These steps ensure you create a delightful and visually stunning salad.
