Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

4 strips of crispy bacon, crumbled

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble them into small pieces.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to your taste.

      Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and diced avocado.

        Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plates. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour for chilled serving.
