Amish Broccoli, Chicken & Bacon Salad
The Amish may call this a salad, but trust me it’s a meal! Full of chicken, broccoli, bacon, cheese and apple then mixed with a delicious dressing. This can be a side dish or even a great potluck dish but I made it a meal.

This is one of my favorites, but I have never had chicken in it before. I am going to try this version 😍

It reminded me of chicken salad. I used rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club and it was so good!

Have you added boiled broccoli or just raw?

Raw broccoli. The salad dressing breaks it down and by the second day it still has a nice little bit of a crunch. I had so much left that I actually added more dressing on the second day but I like a lot of dressing and it seemed to soak in. This is worth making!

Looks Fab… and I can imagine all the flavours combining well. Yes, that’s a meal. I’m going to try it this weekend. (Another eye-catching serving dish. I’m going to pay closer attention to see if a pattern/dish EVER makes a re-appearance. 🙂

Hahaha I guarantee you will see repeats! You will love this salad! I had plenty leftover by the second day and because I like dressing, I added more but it was perfect the first day. If I had a croissant I would have made a sandwich with it the second day! I hope you love it as much as I did!

I went to Jungle Jim’s (I did a post on it) and they had an entire section of everything bacon flavored. I have a friend that loves mints and bacon so I bought her bacon flavored mints!
