Tips

  1. • Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor profile • Cook bacon until perfectly crisp for that essential crunch • Grill chicken to exactly 165°F to ensure food safety and juiciness • Let chicken rest after grilling to retain maximum moisture • Dice avocado just before serving to prevent browning • For a meal prep friendly version, keep dressing separate until serving • Experiment with different herb seasonings to customize your salad • Choose organic, free-range eggs and chicken for enhanced nutrition • Use a mix of green varieties for more complex salad texture • Consider toasting bacon in the oven for more even cooking
