Need a new healthy salad for lunch?
Try this chicken bacon egg and avocado combo. That’s a mouth full. Every wonder why salads at home aren’t always as good as they are at a restaurant? I have! Making the dressing from scratch usually does the trick. More importantly, I forgot how good homemade vinaigrette is and it only took a minute! This dressing recipe is simple.
This salad is PACKED with nutrients including protein, healthy fats and nonstarchy veggies.
You can also, certainly, use your left over chicken and meal prep a few hardboiled eggs for the week while you’re making this fresh easy salad! Something new and refreshing for the summer, or even a weeknight night meal. This is how to make salads healthy and not sad. You really can’t go wrong with an avocado bacon chicken egg salad.
Salad Nutrition Info:
Chicken: Great lean protein source. Chicken breasts are also a very good source of selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and niacin.
Egg: One egg has only 75 calories and 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The egg is a powerhouse of disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin.
Avocado: heart healthy fat with tons of vitamins and minerals! Who doesn’t love all the avocado benefits? The creamy delicious texture changes up the salad too. However, go easy on the serving size since bacon and eggs also contain fat.
Red Wine Vinegar: Great dressing, marinade, flavoring option very low in calories. It also has antioxidants! I like my red wine vinegar dressing a but sweeter and added a touch of honey however, it’s good without it!
