Creating your own BLT Chicken Salad is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t done so already, cook and shred the chicken. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
3. Chop the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken and crumbled bacon to the salad bowl with the vegetables.
6. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated well.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning or dressing as necessary.
8. Serve Immediately: If you prefer, you can chill the salad for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

These straightforward steps will lead you to a beautifully combined BLT Chicken Salad that’s ready to be enjoyed!
