Crazy amazing {and a little bit naughty} salad...


Ok, there's a few steps to this and it's on the 'less' healthy side since I used bread and bacon but this salad is out of control delish.

Step 1:
Heat oven to 400 degrees line a cookie sheet with foil and lay about 4 strips of organic bacon out. Cook about 20 minutes until crispy.

When the bacon is done reduce the heat to 350 and make the chicken. Put two chicken breasts on the same baking sheet same foil and sprinkle with TJ's everyday seasoning, garlic powder and sea salt and bake 35 minutes. When it's done immediately cover with foil and let it sit about 15 minutes.

Step 2:
While the chicken is cooking add a little bit, like a little, little bit like maybe 1 Tbs. or less of vegan butter to a pan. Take a small loaf of ciabiatta or similar bread and cut into 1" cubes and toast in the pan. when done put them on paper towels with the bacon to absorb the extra grease.

Step 3:
Prep the salad, dice an avocado or two, slice 1/2 red onion, quarter grape or cherry tomatoes. Add baby spinach.

Step 4:
Make dressing:

1 Tbs. of Maple Syrup or Honey
1/2 Juice of a lemon
1 Tbs. of Dijon mustard
pinch of sea salt
1 grated clove of garlic

wisk togethter.

Last step: slice chicken, take the salad mix, top with chicken, bacon, croutons, and dressing. Toss. Eat.
