Notes
- No air fryer...No problem! Cook the popcorn chicken in a conventional oven according to the package instructions.
- To achieve perfectly boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once water comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath. This method helps prevent overcooking the egg and ensures delicious creamy yolks.
- For perfectly crispy bacon, bake in the oven on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows the bacon to cook evenly and become crispy without the need for constant flipping.
- To save time consider using store-bought hardboiled eggs or pre-cooked bacon from your grocery store.
- Customize the salad greens according to your preference. While romaine is the classic choice for this salad; iceberg, baby spinach, arugula, kale, or a spring mix could be used instead for added variety and nutrition.
- Depending on your taste buds, you can adjust the consistency of the avocado dressing by adding more or less Greek yogurt or lime juice. For a thicker dressing use less liquid, and for a thinner consistency, add a splash of water or extra lime juice.
- To prevent the avocado dressing from browning, store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the dressing to minimize air exposure.
