Description

A delightful mix of flavors and textures with juicy chicken, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and a tangy honey mustard dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 6 slices of crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 4 cups mixed greens (like spinach, arugula, or romaine)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven. Once cooked, let it cool and then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, add the mixed greens.
  3. Next, add the chopped chicken on top of the greens.
  4. Then, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the chicken.
  5. Toss in the diced avocado and cherry tomatoes.
  6. Add the thinly sliced red onion for extra flavor.
  7. Drizzle the honey mustard dressing over the salad. Start with half of it and add more to taste.
  8. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
  9. Serve the salad immediately, or keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.

Notes

Tip: For best results, add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
