Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 12 oz (340 g) cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large ripe avocado, cubed
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 4 cups (120 g / 4.2 oz) chopped lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce
  • For the Creamy Dijon Dressing
  • 1/2 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) olive oil mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) sour cream
  • 1 tsp (5 g / 0.18 oz) Dijon mustard
  • 4 tbsp (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For a quick shortcut, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. It saves time and adds fantastic flavor.
  • To prevent the avocado from browning, add it to the salad just before you're ready to serve.
  • For meal prep, store the dressing and the salad components in separate airtight containers. Combine and add avocado just before eating.
  • Swap the sour cream for an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing with a protein boost.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Combine the salad : In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and celery.
  4. Dress the salad: Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Add avocado and serve: Gently fold in the cubed avocado.
  6. Taste and add more dressing if desired.
  7. Serve immediately over a bed of fresh lettuce.
