Ingredients

For the Salad

4 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1 large chicken breast, grilled and diced
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

For the Dressing

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp fresh chives, minced
Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Whisk the yogurt, vinegar, chives, and blue cheese in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Stewart's Secret: To keep your avocado fresh, toss the diced pieces in a squeeze of lemon juice before assembling. It prevents browning and adds a bright lift to the rich blue cheese.
