Chicken Avocado Salad

This is a nifty twist on a bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich. Your balsamic multi-tasks in this recipe, being both the marinade and dressing. Add feta, crispy bacon, a touch of honey, and Italian seasoning, and your taste buds will be thanking you after every bite. And for those finicky about eating “rabbit food,” there’s enough meat here to satisfy.
