This chopped chicken salad is a favorite in my house because it hits every craving at once. You get the savory crunch of bacon paired with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked chicken, which makes it hearty enough for a main course.

My top tip for this salad is to make sure you chop everything into small, uniform pieces. It ensures you get a little bit of every flavor in every single bite you take.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 red onion, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion on top of the lettuce.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.

  5. 5

    Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated and well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while the vegetables are crisp.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing separately from the salad if you want to keep the lettuce crisp for later. This salad keeps well in the fridge for about two days, though it is best enjoyed fresh.
