Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or cubed (about 2 large chicken breasts)
  • 2-3 large avocados cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed, or canned corn drained and rinsed
  • 5 oz bacon cooked and chopped
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Lemon Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the chicken, avocados, corn, cooked bacon, green onions, and dill. Toss everything to combine. 
  • To make the dressing, add all ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. 
  • Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately plain, on bread for a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce. 

Notes

Feel free to use canned chicken, just make sure it is well drained!
I noted 2-3 avocados... we like to use 3 because we LOVE avocado. But 2 is fine as well. 
This recipe will make 4 main course servings, but 6-8 if serving this as a side.
