Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Herb Chicken & Bacon Salad


  1. Start by prepping your workspace: measure and gather all required ingredients ahead of time to make assembling the salad seamless.

  2. Add diced pre-cooked chicken, crispy chopped bacon, drained chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to a large mixing bowl.

  3. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together Kewpie mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, chopped basil, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme until the dressing is fully combined. Give the dressing a taste, then season with additional salt to adjust to your flavor preference.

  4. Pour the finished dressing over the chicken mixture, then toss thoroughly to coat every ingredient evenly. You can serve the salad immediately, or cover and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes up to overnight to let all the flavors deepen and meld together before serving.
