Creating your own BLT Chicken Salad can be easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already cooked the chicken, you can grill, boil, or sauté it. Ensure it’s fully cooked and shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cooked chicken, and crumbled bacon.
5. Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well coated.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste your salad and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
7. Serve: Transfer the salad into serving bowls or plates. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions or chives.

By following these steps, you will create a satisfying and delicious BLT Chicken Salad that will make mealtime memorable!
