Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Base

  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 pieces center-cut bacon, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Vegetables & Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup diced green onions
  • 2/3 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 diced avocado

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt and whisk together until smooth and creamy. Add the ranch seasoning mix and freshly cracked black pepper, then whisk again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  2. Combine the Main Ingredients: To the bowl with the dressing, add shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crispy bacon pieces, and diced green onions. Mix thoroughly so all ingredients are well coated in the dressing.
  3. Incorporate the Tomatoes: Gently fold in the halved or quartered cherry tomatoes to add freshness and vibrant color throughout the salad.
  4. Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more pepper or ranch seasoning to suit your preference.
  5. Add Avocado and Serve: When ready to serve, gently toss the diced avocado into the desired portion of the salad or layer it on top to maintain texture and richness.
  6. Chill and Store: Transfer the chicken salad into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Chilling allows all flavors to meld together for enhanced taste. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • You can replace the Greek yogurt entirely with mayonnaise if preferred for a richer dressing.
  • Use center-cut bacon for best texture and flavor balance.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • If storing, add the avocado fresh when serving to prevent browning.
  • This salad keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Serve on a bed of lettuce or with low-carb bread for a complete meal.
