Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 ounce country-style bread, crusts removed, torn into 1" pieces
10 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 scallions
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's (Best Foods)
1 small rotisserie chicken, meat pulled from bones and shredded
6 radishes, trimmed, cut into wedges
1 head of Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
1 avocado, sliced, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss bread and 3 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crisp around the edges, 8-12 minutes; let croutons cool.
  • Meanwhile, separate scallion whites from greens. Finely chop whites; place in a large bowl. Finely chop greens. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium. Cook greens, stirring often, until blackened around edges and crisp, about 3 minutes. Scrape into bowl with whites, then whisk in lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in remaining 6 Tbsp. oil.
  • Pour half of dressing into a small bowl; set aside. Add chicken, radishes, and croutons to bowl with remaining dressing and toss to coat.
  • Arrange lettuce and half of avocado on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 3 Tbsp. reserved dressing; top with chicken salad. Tuck remaining avocado around; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
