Fancy Florida Chicken Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    salad mixture
    1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
    4 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced in large chunks
    1 (14 ounce) can hearts of palm, drained,sliced into rounds
    12 lettuce leaves or 12 mixed salad greens (choose fancy looking ones)
    4 vine ripened tomatoes, cut into 6 wedges each
    24 pitted black olives (any type you prefer)
    blue cheese dressing
    1/2 cup mayonnaise (light is fine)
    1/2 cup sour cream (light is fine)
    3 tablespoons skim milk
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
    2/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
Preparation
    Mix together the cooked bacon, chicken chunks, and hearts of palm round in a large bowl.
    Mix together the mayo, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, and salt in a blender for about 30 seconds.
    Add blue cheese to the dressing and pulse just a few seconds- so there are still some chunks.
    Toss with chicken mixture, cover and chill several hours.
    Set lettuce leaves onto 6 serving plates (about 2 large leaves a plate- or whatever you need to cover the plate attractively).
    Place a mound of the chicken mixture on top of the lettuce.
    Set tomato wedges around the chicken mound in a spiral pattern.
    Garnish with black olives.
