Hi guys! Another recipe for the Secret Recipe Club. This month I was assigned It’s Yummy to my Tummy. Heather’s blog was so much fun to read through. As usual I had trouble narrowing down to one recipe. In fact, I actually also made her blueberry apple crisp the same day. It was so good that I’ve made it twice now. I also bookmarked a few recipes to make at a later time: Pretzel buns, Croutons and Tropical cerviche.
I ultimately decided on this chicken BLT salad with avocado dressing. Summer time just screams for crisp lettuce, salty bacon and creamy avocados. I made it for dinner, and it was a big hit with my family. I hope you take a few minutes and check out Heather’s blog and recipes. I’m sure you’ll see many things to add to your meal plan.
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 2-3 medium tomatoes, cut into small wedges
- ½ pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Shredded parmesan cheese
- Croutons
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped
- 2 chicken breasts baked and sliced
- AVOCADO DRESSING:
- 1 avocado
- 1 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
- ½ cup milk (or as much as you need to thin out dressing)
- 4 Tbsp sour cream
- ½ lime, juiced
- ½ cup cilantro leaves, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- Optional ~ Add some bacon drippings from cooking the bacon
- Mix up salad dressing and refrigerate. Chill for at least ½ hour before serving.
- Chop and prepare all toppings for salad including baking or grilling chicken and cooking bacon.
- Have family make own salads from toppings.

This looks delicious! I LOVE anything with avocado and bacon. I’m from Group A but stepped in to help out an orphan. It’s nice to meet some new bloggers.

I agree – Summer = salads. Especially while we can get our hands on farmer’s market fresh tomatoes and lettuce. There’s something indescribably delicious about farm fresh, tender salad leaves.
Happy SRC Reveal, fellow SRCer!
