Chopped Salad with Chicken
Description
Chopped Salad with Chicken is a colorful, hearty salad featuring coarsely chopped romaine lettuce mixed with cooked chicken breast pieces, fresh mozzarella chunks, chopped tomato and cucumber, chickpeas, and crisp bacon bits. The addition of diced avocado contributes creaminess while sliced chives add a mild onion note. The dressing blends lemon juice, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, minced shallots, oregano, parsley, and olive oil for a balanced tang and herb flavor that coats the salad ingredients evenly. Tossing the salad just before serving preserves the fresh textures and flavors. This salad works well as a light lunch or a side to grilled meats or sandwiches.
