Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain the fat and crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped lettuce, and diced tomato.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- For meal prepping, store the dressing separately and mix it in just before serving to keep the lettuce and bacon crisp.
- If you prefer a low-carb or Keto option, omit the vinegar or use lemon juice instead.
- To keep the bacon extra crunchy, add it right before serving.
