Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 6 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups chopped romaine or mixed lettuce
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)

- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken breast, crumbled crispy bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped lettuce, diced avocado, and red onion if using. Gently toss to mix the ingredients evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to coat the salad evenly with the dressing without mashing the avocado.
- Serve or Store: Serve the BLT chicken salad immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate for up to several hours to allow the flavors to meld. This salad can be served on its own, in lettuce cups, or on toasted bread for a sandwich option.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute all mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Add chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein and richness.
- Serve the salad in lettuce cups or on toasted bread to make a BLT chicken sandwich.
