We loved this salad. I didn't follow the directions for the chicken breasts, though. Instead, I seasoned with our favorite spicy steak seasoning and grilled on the charcoal grill. All of the bacon, eggs, avocado, tomato, and onions gave great flavor and we didn't need the cheese. Loved the simple dressing with the tang of lemon. Yum. Perfect dinner on a hot summer day.
