Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad

"A very simple and delicious salad than can be used as a lunch or dinner. A meal in itself. Can use any seasoning for chicken- Tandori is my personal choice. Can also be made in individual bowls instead of one bowl and then served- this way you can custom make salad to suit individual, eg. hubby doesn't like avocado."

  1. A great blend of salty & tangy, I really enjoyed this for my dinner. I cheated a little & just used some store-bought rotisserie chicken, I also added some red onion & a sprinkle of lemon pepper.Mmmm delish!
     
  2. Just had this yummy salad for lunch, and found it to be light, lovely, and elegant. I loved it! I made it exactly as directed, except to use the greens I had on hand (spinach leaves), and found this to be a scrumptious combination. I would defintely recommend not skipping the parmesan cheese, as I found the combo of balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese, to make a perfect salad dressing for this salad. This is a wonderful and versitile salad, one that can be utilized particularly well as a main luncheon or dinner salad, and can even be used as an elegant starter salad (lightening up on the chicken), for a dinner party or romantic dinner for two. I will defintely be placing this recipe in my "Tried and True" file - thanks for sharing it!
     
  3. This may be simple to make, but it is an elegant and beautiful meal. I made it as written -- using Masterfood's cajun seasoning -- and added a diced lebanese cucumber and two sliced spring onions. I thought it might not have enough dressing, but it was perfect. Thanks so much.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a busy mum to 5 plus a precious grandson. I've always had a passion of serving healthy nutritious and most importantly tasty food to my family and friends. Being an Aussie I have a insatiable appetite for bbq'ing . My cookery books fill three shelves of a large bookcase and I use the internet constantly looking for new recipes and ideas. My passion for food and cooking has been passed down to my children with 2 now being qualified chefs and another 2 working part time in the food industry whilst studying. My grandson has enjoyed the benefits of a 'foodie family' and has only ever eaten food freshly prepared by us and usually grown by a member of the family as well. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG" width=100%> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=crazykeas.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/crazykeas.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
