Avocado, Chicken and Bacon Salad

You simply combine sliced avocados, cooked chicken chunks or strips, and bits of crumbled bacon over a bed of baby greens before pulling it all together with a drizzling of honey mustard dressing. This salad can be assembled in the morning, placed in the refrigerator and served chilled at the end of the day.
