BLT CHICKEN SALAD

BLT Chicken Salad image

I am always ready to try a new salad and when BLT is in the title... well, hold me back! The BBQ sauce adds an unusual and pleasantly surprising twist that caps the salad off perfectly - ideal for a summer afternoon.

Categories Lettuce Salads

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 c torn salad greens
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 lb chicken, cooked and cubed
10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
BBQ Dressing
1/2 c mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp BBQ sauce, your favorite!
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, combine the 5 ingredients listed under BBQ Dressing, mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. Place salad greens on a large platter. Sprinkle with tomatoes, chicken and bacon; garnish with eggs.
3. Drizzle with Dressing or serve the dressing on the side.
4. My tips...as I said in my above comment, I sometimes just serve it with Ranch or a Greek Feta Dressing. I like to use cherry tomatoes and just cut them in half. Use as many eggs as you like...and I also like to add cubed mozzarella cheese. You can also use cooked and cubed turkey instead of chicken!

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your BLT chicken salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crispy lettuce, and juicy bacon.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding it.
Use a variety of textures: The combination of crispy bacon, crunchy lettuce, and creamy avocado makes this salad so delicious. Be sure to include all of these ingredients in your salad.
Make it your own: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your liking. Add other ingredients that you enjoy, such as hard-boiled eggs, chopped walnuts, or crumbled blue cheese.

Conclusion:

BLT chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this BLT chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
