How to Make Chicken and Bacon Salad
Finely dice the onions and mix them with one part balsamic vinegar and one part olive oil. I like to use an old jam jar as the top is nice and wide for adding the diced onions.
Leave to marinade for about 8 hours.
Dice the chicken and bacon and fry until cooked and crispy. Add about half of the dressing whilst cooking.
Serve slightly warm with the rest of the dressing along with a side salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and buttered new potatoes.
I usually make this Chicken and Bacon Salad for parties and so I serve the side salad and potatoes separately. This way it’s easier for my guests to accommodate any dietary requirements and preferences.
This Chicken and Bacon Salad lasts for about 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
