Brimming with flavor, this recipe by Love and Zest is a twist on the classic chicken salad. Crisp bacon, creamy avocados and grilled chicken are tossed in a lemon yogurt dressing. Greek yogurt replaces traditional mayo and includes a hefty amount of protein. Whether in a sandwich, wrap or over mixed greens, this recipe makes for a quick meal during a busy week.
