Chicken Bacon Avocado Salad
Chicken bacon avocado salad makes for an absolutely delicious meal or side dish that I love using up leftover chicken in. A bed of greens, sliced and diced avocados, chopped chicken and thick cut bacon tossed with strawberry vinaigrette is the base, making this an easily customizable and delicious any-time salad!

Notes
- Meal prep the chicken and bacon ahead of time and mix in all ingredients when ready to eat for the week.
- Use rotisserie chicken from the store or roast a whole chicken and shred/chop the meat up to use throughout the week
- Bake the bacon in the oven on a baking sheet for 15 minutes at 350 until crisp. So much easier and less messy than in a pan.
