Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced (rotisserie chicken works well)

6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

1 medium ripe tomato, diced

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Cook the Bacon: In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it turns crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bits.

Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

Add the Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately or chill for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld together.
