Instructions
Pickled Onions
- Slice onions as thin as possible, I like to use the 1/8 inch setting on my mandolin. Place the onions in a glass far. In a small bowl combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and warm water. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. These should rest about 30 minutes for using.
Green Goddess Salad Dressing
- Place all of the dressing ingredients in the bowl of a blender or food processor and blend for about 30-45 seconds, or until the salad dressing is mostly smooth and creamy.
Salad Assembly
- Place the salad in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Thinly slice the chicken breast, and place onto the lettuce. Add bacon, chopped avocado, chopped tomatoes, feta cheese, hard-boiled egg halves, and pickled onions. Drizzle over as much salad dressing as desired. Remaining salad dressing can be stored in an air-tight container for 1 week.
Notes
- Omit pickled onions to reduce carbohydrates if desired.
- Prepare the Green Goddess dressing ahead and refrigerate for up to a week.
- Thinly slicing onions and allowing them to soak enhances their tang and mellows sharpness.
