Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- Salad greens, for serving, optional
- 12 slices sourdough bread, optional
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until completely cooled. Peel the eggs and chop them.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then roughly chop.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Stir in the blue cheese and chives, reserving some of the chives for garnish, then season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs and parsley, reserving some bacon, egg and parsley for the salad platter garnish, and toss to coat completely. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- To serve as a salad: Lay the chicken salad on a bed of greens. Garnish with some of the egg, bacon, chives and parsley.
- To serve as a sandwich: Lay the chicken salad between slices of sourdough bread.

Delicious!
Sounds delicious. Is there a different dressing that would work instead of bleu cheese?
Sorry, she puts way too much on the bread/roll when making a sandwich. I could make 3 out of one of her sandwiches.
Made it camping, it was a hit!!!!!
I loved this refreshing chicken salad! I added some garlic powder but other than that it was delicious!
Delicious!! Made the chicken in the instant pot then pulled. Left the eggs and avocados out and served on the side thought it might get too mushy for leftovers. Was perfect!!
Such a good tasting chicken salad! Can’t go wrong with a dish that has bacon. Easy to do will definitely be doing this recipe again
Yummy summer salad. Will make this one again.
Very good, the blue cheese gives it a great taste!
