CHICKEN SALAD WITH BACON



Chicken Salad With Bacon image

Any time I have any left over chicken I make this chicken salad. Even if I only have a little bit of Chicken I just scale it down. It's really good!

Provided by Jencathen

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cooked diced chicken
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon parsley, fresh
2 tablespoons finely minced green onions
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (or curry powder)
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and bacon.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients to make the dressing. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Combine dressing with chicken mixture. Add the dressing slowly to make the desired consistency.
  • Chill and stir again before serving.
  • Serve on your favorite bread or top some lettuce greens.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
  • Make your own croutons: Homemade croutons are easy to make and add a nice touch to the salad. Simply cube some bread, toss it with olive oil, and bake it in the oven until golden brown.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the bacon: Bacon should be cooked until it is crispy but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The dressing will wilt the lettuce, so it's best to assemble the salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken Caprese Wedge Salad with Bacon is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The combination of flavors and textures in this salad is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new salad to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
