How to Make this Chicken Salad

  1. Chicken: before anything, prepare the bacon-wrapped chicken breast. We have a super simple tutorial for you to follow. You only need a few ingredients to get started.
  2. Eggs: meanwhile, start boiling your eggs. This recipe only calls for two eggs, but feel free to make however many you want to snack on for later. Check out our easy hard-boiled eggs tutorial or hard-boiled eggs in the oven.
  3. Veggies: now it’s time to chop all of your veggies! Make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces so that you can get a little bit of everything in every bite.
  4. Salad Dressing: every salad deserves a dressing and this one is creamy ranch! If you’d rather buy a store-bought ranch, you can do that too.

Dressing Ideas

We served this salad with a creamy, homemade ranch dressing, but there are so many other salad dressings that would work! Here are some other ideas:

Storage

If you are planning for leftovers, we suggest waiting to toss your salad in dressing so that the lettuce and veggies do not get soggy.

Transfer salad into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. When you’re ready to eat, dress you salad.
