Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb cooked chicken (equivalent to 2 large chicken breasts), shredded or chopped
  • 3 medium or 2 large avocados, pitted and diced
  • 1 cup corn, from 1 cooked cob or canned
  • 6 oz bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chives or green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, cut into halves or quarters optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts and chop or shred them into bite-sized pieces. If you're using leftover chicken, ensure it's warmed up if you prefer a warm salad.
  2. Bacon: Fry the bacon until crispy, then let it cool on paper towels before chopping.
  3. Corn: Boil the corn cob until tender, then slice off the corn kernels. Alternatively, you can use canned corn, drained and rinsed.
  4. Eggs: Hard boil the eggs, cool them under cold running water, peel, and quarter or halve them.
  5. Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped chicken, diced avocados, corn, crispy bacon, chives or green onions, and dill.
  6. If using, add the hard-boiled eggs to the salad.
  7. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  8. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  9. Serve: Serve the salad immediately to prevent the avocados from browning. If you plan to serve it later, squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the avocados or cover the surface of the salad with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure.
