Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Bacon Salad

Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Bacon Salad

Ingredients

Salad Base:

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie works perfectly for a quick prep)

• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped into small bite-sized pieces

• 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced

• 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Creamy Dressing:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup sour cream (or plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt)

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prep the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli florets, diced red onion, and the crumbled bacon.

2. Mix the Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth.

3. Combine: Pour the creamy dressing over the chicken and broccoli mixture. Toss thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

4. Chill and Serve: For the absolute best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the dressing soften the broccoli slightly and allow the flavors to meld before serving.
