Tips & Tricks

For a healthier option, you can substitute turkey bacon for regular bacon.
Feel free to customize the salad by adding your favorite vegetables or protein sources.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken.
If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use a milder cheese such as feta or goat cheese instead of blue cheese.
To make the salad more filling, you can add a handful of cooked quinoa or chickpeas.
