Ingredients

Avocado Dressing:

  • 1 small ripe avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Dash cayenne pepper

  • ¼ cup water

Salad:

  • 6 cups coarsely chopped salad greens (iceberg, romaine, etc.)

  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken

  • 4 slices turkey-style bacon, cooked and chopped

  • 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

  • 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Avocado Dressing: In a blender or mini-chopper, blend avocado, oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper and water, until smooth. Thin dressing with additional water if desired.

  2. Salad: Divide salad greens among individual plates. Place a mound of chicken in center of each. Arrange turkey-style bacon, tomatoes, egg wedges and red onion around chicken. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

Variation:

Use diced ham in place of chicken and regular bacon in place of turkey-style bacon. Use shredded Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda or your favourite cheese instead of blue cheese.
