Chicken BLT Salad Bowl

Chicken BLT Salad BowlThis chicken BLT salad bowl is sure to leave you dreaming for more. It has all the deliciousness of a classic BLT sandwich, but in one bowl and minus the bread, of course.

While I know chicken does not traditionally belong on a BLT, it makes this salad more substantial and offers greater staying power. The cucumber may seem out of the ordinary too, but to me, it’s integral. My mom always put cucumber slices on our BLTs when I was a kid, so it’s a must. Plus, I love the dose of freshness and crunch it provides. I actually never liked tomato or mayo on my BLT back then anyway, so the cucumber was a nice swap.

As for the dressing, it consists of avocado oil mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, coconut milk and fresh chives. The coconut milk makes it just thin enough to drizzle and the chives add a nice bit of zest.

Above all, this chicken BLT salad bowl is fresh, savory, creamy, crisp, satisfying and nutrient-dense. It is perfection!

Enjoy!
