Featuring all the fun fixings for a BLT chicken sandwich, this salad is so lovable. I can prep the ingredients ahead of time and just throw it together at the last minute.

I served this along side soup on a rainy night. No leftovers were to be found. We did need a tad more dressing as I probably used more than 8 cups of greens. I'd probably use only about 1 pound of chicken and few slices of bacon next time.

My husband and I love this dinner salad. I make it at least once a month. I use a rotisserie chicken from the market instead of the chicken breast.

This was very good. We love salads. The only change I made was not putting bacon in this. We are not bacon eaters. I would make this again. Thanks for the recipe.

Delicious! We used prepared chicken salad and added BBQ sauce to the mix, topped with avocado and it was a hit. The best salad for salad week yet!!

Delicious! The only substitutes I made were turkey instead of chicken, and whole grape tomatoes for chopped tomatoes.

This was fabulous! The whole family raved about it. We added avocado and shredded cheese. My daughter did not like the dressing but she was fine with table dressing.

Great salad! We made it with grilled chicken that had a spicy chicken rub on it. I added green onions to the salad and my husband added shredded cheddar cheese to his salad. Both were delicious additions. I loved this dressing and my kids have used it for a chicken nugget dipping sauce as well. This recipe will be a staple in our house this summer. Yummy!!!!

This was delicious! I marinated chicken in herb & garlic before grilling and used pepper bacon. The eggs were a surprisingly good flavor blend.
