Chicken BLT Salad

Hello everyone!!  I hope your summer is treating you well.  I’m bringing you a Chicken BLT Salad today that is perfect for summer.  It’s light, easy and full of flavor!Chicken BLT Salad | CGH LifestyleI’ve made some blt salads before and they are good, but a little heavy with the mayo dressing.  So, I was on a mission to create something a little lighter.

I left out the mayo completely and replaced it with Italian dressing.  Needless, to say it was a winner with the whole family.  If you don’t like Italian dressing it would also be good with a vinaigrette of your choice.Chicken BLT Salad | CGH LifestyleI used rotisserie chicken to speed things up, crispy bacon (cuz who doesn’t love bacon and it’s a blt salad), sliced ripe tomatoes, crisp romaine lettuce and added in some avocado for good measure.  🙂  This makes a large salad so it’s perfect to take to a bbq or picnic.Chicken BLT Salad | CGH Lifestyle | RecipeFeel free to play around with different ingredients or take some out to make it your own.
