BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado & Feta Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado & Feta Salad is a delicious twist to a BLT in salad form, with a balsamic dressing that doubles as a marinade! You won’t even miss the bread in this mega loaded salad.

BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado & Feta Salad… Heaven in a bowl? I think so!

Aside from the avocado and feta and crispy bacon in this bowl of epic-ness, the balsamic dressing / marinade / gift from the salad gods is everything. If you love all the salads on my blog so far, this one is right up there with the best of them.

The dressing has so many flavours packed into it, that when you fry your chicken with it AND dress your salad with the rest of it, you won’t know what to do with yourself. No only does it contain the obvious balsamic and olive oil, get ready for your mind to be blown with a sprinkle of Italian herbs, a kick of garlic and a hint of honey. You will be table top dancing, along with your taste buds.

By the way, there is balsamic in there ? I swear, sunk right at the bottom. I wanted to capture those herbs sitting at the top. When you whisk it together, it’s a whirlpool of balsamic lava lamp.

With all of you guys writing in telling me how much you’re loving these dressing / marinade salads, and how much they’re making your lives easier, and some of you even demanding MORE SALADS…..this one will NOT disappoint you, or your anti-salad husbands or boyfriends or children or family or parents or friends or neighbours…..or whoever you’re sharing this with. That’s if you’re sharing, of course.

The chicken gets marinaded in some of the dressing to keep the easy merriment going. Then pan-fried to crispy, golden, tender, juicy deliciousness.

Once your salad is assembled and ready, you’re going to let it rain bacon and feta allllllllllll over the place.

    I’ve now incorporated this recipe into our rotation for meal preps! I typically use chicken breast and turkey bacon and it’s still delicious! I put everything but the avocado into a mason jar for salads during the week.

    What brand of balsamic vinegar do you use? I have been hesitant to make my own because the last time I bought a balsamic vinegar, the vinaigrette I made didn’t taste so good!

    So good! I used Manuka honey in dressing. Dressing was amazing! I also added strawberries and grilled pineapple topped with sliced almonds and cranberries. This is a keeper!

    DEEEEELISH!!! And SO easy to make! I don’t eat meat so I substitute Gardien chikn strips and Morningstar veggie bacon. Instead of marinade the chikn, I cook it in a skillet like normal to get it a bit crispy then toss the dressing over and let it simmer down. Also, sub’d goat cheese and it’s great! The omnivore bf & I are totally obsessed with this salad! ?
