Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and let cool on paper towels before crumbling into pieces.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is grilling, chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. If not using pre-made pickled red onions, slice red onions and soak them in vinegar for about 30 minutes to pickle.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens, followed by the cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, pickled red onions, crumbled bacon, sliced grilled chicken, and blue cheese crumbles on top.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the assembled salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients before serving.
