If you are a fan of bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches, you are going to fall in love with this salad. It captures all those iconic flavors in a hearty bowl that makes for a perfect lunch or a light dinner on a warm day.

My favorite way to make this is to ensure the bacon is extra crispy and the tomatoes are perfectly ripe. If you want a little extra crunch, feel free to toss in some toasted croutons right before you serve it.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 6 strips thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and green onions to the bowl with the dressing and stir to combine everything evenly.

  3. 3

    Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped romaine lettuce.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately while the lettuce is fresh and crisp.

💡 Tips

You can store the chicken and bacon mixture in the fridge for up to two days, but add the fresh lettuce and tomatoes right before serving so they stay crunchy. This salad is also delicious served inside a lettuce wrap or on a toasted croissant.
