Instructions

Prep the Salad Ingredients: Begin by preparing the cooked chicken, bacon, avocado, salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Ensure the bacon is crispy for optimal texture.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.

Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.

Add Cheese (optional): If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, tossing gently to combine everything without mashing the avocado.

Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
