Serving Immediately:

In a beautiful serving bowl assemble your salad, placing a bed of greens in the base of the bowl. Lay on top the deliciously crispy bacon, cherry tomatoes, succulent chicken breast and sliced avocado before generously pouring the Rosemary Vinaigrette.

 

Serving Later:

This salad works beautifully cold for Summer picnics.

To keep the greens fresh and crisp store your salad in jars. Add a generous helping of vinaigrette to the base of the jar, followed by chicken breast, bacon, cherry tomatoes and avocado. Fill the jar with crisp greens and store in the fridge. Shake the jar before serving and voilà your lunch is served.

Create, Eat, Enjoy!
