Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Everyone knows these three ingredients as one complete meal – the Holy Trinity of lunches. So if you can’t break them up, join them! Introduce the smoky bacon, crisp lettuce and juicy tomato to the creamy chicken salad. And because bread is an unnecessary evil, ditch it for avocado cups. The ever-popular fruit will runneth over when you stuff it with BLT chicken salad. Whether you follow a paleo diet, the Whole30 or just love a lighter lunch, this is a match made in heaven.
