1/10g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
8 cups lettuce

4 strips bacon
50g
4 oz blue cheese
110g
2 avocados
400g
2 tomatoes
250g
1/4 cup onion

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Cook the Bacon:
- In the same skillet, add the strips of bacon.
- Cook over medium heat until crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Rinse and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces, place in a large salad bowl.
- Dice or slice the tomatoes and chop the onion finely, then add to the salad bowl.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, scoop out the flesh, and dice or slice. Add to the salad bowl.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Add the chicken strips and crumbled bacon to the salad bowl.
- Crumble the blue cheese over the top of the salad.
- Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
5. Serve:
- Divide the salad among 4 plates or serve it family-style.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Use a mix of different lettuce types for added texture and flavor.

- Cook the bacon until crispy for a more satisfying crunch in your salad.

- For a creamier texture, mash some of the avocado and mix it with the other ingredients.

- Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers to suit your taste.

- Toast the blue cheese lightly to enhance its flavor before adding it to the salad.

- Serve immediately after mixing to enjoy the freshest taste and texture.

With these simple steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious Chicken Bacon Salad with Blue Cheese and Avocado. It's perfect for a light yet filling meal, combining fresh ingredients and rich flavors. Enjoy your delightful, homemade salad!
