Healthy BLT Chicken Salad
This lightened up BLT chicken salad is a must have in the summertime! It’s the best appetizer and lunch, plus super refreshing.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 3 turkey bacon slices
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered or halved
- ¼ cup red onion minced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 cup chopped lettuce I like iceberg because it is crispy
Dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp dijon mustard
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- First, make sure your chicken is cooked and shredded. You can prepare this yourself or use rotisserie chicken.
- Next, Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cook bacon in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Let cool to room temp and finely dice.
- While bacon is cooking, prepare your veggies by chopping them to your desired size.
- To a blender or bowl, add olive oil, Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Blend/whisk until fully mixed.
- Add cooked, shredded chicken to a large bowl and pour the dressing over the chicken. Toss well.
- Add tomatoes, chopped turkey bacon, red onion, celery, lettuce and toss.
- Serve on your favorite bread, on lettuce, in a wrap, or on crackers! Great as a dip with veggies as well.
