Salad Season is Here!

Sometimes there is nothing better than a salad packed with raw veggies, chicken breast, and a creamy dressing. We love healthy salads that are packed with “stuff” because then you can truly make it a full-on meal. We’re so excited for you to make this Bacon Wrapped Chicken Salad because it features our famous (and easy!) Bacon Wrapped Chicken. It’s a great way to use up leftovers or just repurpose that mean into something extra special.

Why Make This?

Veggie-Packed: this bacon wrapped chicken salad is served on a bed of romaine lettuce and also made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and avocado. High-Protein: Both the bacon wrapped chicken and hard boiled eggs amp up the protein content in this recipe. Gluten-Free: All ingredients used are naturally gluten-free.

What You Need

Romaine: this salad is served on chopped romaine, but you could also use iceberg lettuce, butter lettuce, or spring greens. Cherry tomatoes: cherry tomatoes give the perfect pop of flavor in every bite. Onion: any color onion (even green) works! Cucumber: cucumber is a fun, crunchy veggie that adds volume to this salad. Almonds: slivered almonds add great healthy fats and a crunch. Hard-boiled eggs: hard-boiled eggs are an easy way to amp up the protein. Avocado: avocados add a creaminess to every bite and also more healthy fats. Bacon wrapped chicken breast: the star of the show are these bacon wrapped chicken breasts. The bacon makes them extra flavorful. Creamy dressing: top your salad off with a creamy, homemade dressing and you’re ready to rock!
