Ingredients

  • 1 bag baby greens I sometimes add some chopped romaine for crunch, OR 1-2 head red leaf or green leaf, chopped
  • 8 oz cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 medium sweet bell pepper chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon chopped (my favorite is Trader Joe's Applewood Smoked, Nitrate -Free, it's the most meaty I've found)
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs chopped small bite size pieces

DRESSING:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise I use my homemade version
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

  • Whisk together dressing ingredients, set aside.
  • Cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, remove from heat to paper towels.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon grease, and saute the chicken, increasing the heat to medium-high.
  • You want the chicken to be browned.
  • When cooked through, pour all the contents over the salad and vegetables and toss with the dressing (to taste).
