    cooked chicken breast
    4 slices cooked bacon, halved

Preparation

  1. Fit the chopping blade in the work bowl of the food processor. With the unit running, drop the garlic, green onion, and anchovies through the feed tube. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the herbs and pulse to finely chop.
  2. Scrape the bowl. Add the avocado, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Process to combine.
  3. While processing, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning according to preference.
  4. Insert the slicing disc into the work bowl of the food processor. Slice the radish, cucumber, and avocado in that order to the desired thickness. Transfer to a large serving bowl with the lettuce, watercress, pickled onion, and halved eggs. Slice the chicken breast and add to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  5. Remove the slicing disc and replace it with the chopping blade. Add the bacon and pulse to roughly chop. Sprinkle over the salad.
  6. Sprinkle with the dill. Serve immediately with the dressing on the side.
