Helpful Tips
- Use Fresh, Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutrition, choose fresh mixed greens and ripe avocado. Fresh produce makes a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
- Choose Chicken Breast or Another Protein: While chicken breast is a great lean protein choice, there are other options to mix things up, like shrimp or deli turkey.
- Add Crunch and Texture: Crumbled bacon adds a satisfying crunch, but you can also toss in nuts or seeds like walnuts or sunflower seeds for extra texture and nutrients.
