Ingredients

150 gram chicken breast
few slices bacon
1 avocado diced
100 gram cherry tomatoes quartered
1/2 cucumber sliced
50 gram baby spinach
2 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 head lettuce
Cress for serving

Dressing:

1 tablespoon lemon juice
3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp dill dried
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

Start by frying the chicken breast. I usually season it with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, but you can use whatever herbs and spices you like. Meanwhile, fry the bacon and drain it on a paper towel.
Wash the lettuce, then mix it with the spinach in a large bowl. Add the avocado, cucumber, tomato, eggs, and chicken breast pieces, finishing with the crispy bacon. Sprinkle with cress.
Make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together. Drizzle it over the salad. Serve the rest on the side.
