Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ avocado, diced

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional for tanginess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bacon: Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and avocado.

        Add the Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the salad mixture, reserving a little for garnish if desired.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until all ingredients are coated evenly.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with additional crumbled bacon and fresh parsley for a burst of color. Serve immediately for the freshest taste!
