Have you been taking advantage of the summer’s farmer markets? This is my favorite time of year to visit them. The harvest is in full swing right now so you get some of the best selection of fresh produce you’ll see all year long. Grab the freshest produce you can to go with my Bacon Avocado Chicken Salad Sandwiches for real farm-to-table flavor!
My chicken salad sandwiches not only stray from more traditional recipes with creamy avocado replacing mayo, but it also incorporates the smoky flavor crisp hearty bacon as well. This is not your grandma’s chicken salad!
To create a great farm-to-table meal, the freshest produce is not your only consideration. You will want to use great bacon too! I use Farmland Applewood Smoked Bacon that really showcases the sweetness of hand-trimmed bacon slow smoked over real Applewood chips. Farmland Bacon has received accolades such as Cook Illustrated’s #1 Highly Recommended Bacon, #2 Best Bacon by Bon Appétit, and a Top 5 Bacon Known to Man by Men’s Health.
Working with local farm families, Farmland has been producing great smoked meats since 1959. Constantly perfecting their curing and smoking techniques and only using quality ingredients, containing no or added hormones, you can really taste their passion in each bite. If you live near me in Wisconsin you can find Farmland at Woodman’s or Piggly Wiggly. Be sure to keep an eye out for all of their products, including bacon, sausage, specialty cut ham, and more!
Kitchen Hack: If you want to create this recipe with less fuss, use a rotisserie chicken. The chicken breasts on a rotisserie chicken are a little smaller, so feel free to use all of the meat from the bird. Otherwise, this is also a great recipe to use up any leftover chicken you may have in your fridge from a previous meal!
