Ingredients
2-3 hearts of Romaine lettuce, chopped
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey, chopped or shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup sliced cucumber, halved
½ cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
½ avocado, thinly sliced
Creamy Greek Yogurt Maple Dijon Salad Dressing, for drizzling
Directions
Prepare all components: Cook bacon until crispy, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Cook or shred your chicken or turkey. Hard-boil eggs and quarter them once cooled. Slice the cucumber into half-moons, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, and chop the Romaine lettuce.
Divide the chopped Romaine lettuce evenly among four serving bowls or arrange in a large salad bowl.
Arrange the cooked chicken or turkey, bacon crumbles, hard-boiled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, corn kernels, and avocado slices on top of the Romaine in neat rows or clusters.
Drizzle the Creamy Greek Yogurt Maple Dijon Salad Dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, or allow each diner to toss their own portion.
Comments
Every ingredient is standard stock at Charlotte supermarkets year-round, making this a grab-and-go assembly with no special trips. The 45-minute stated time is honest if you're poaching chicken from scratch, but most weeknight cooks will use rotisserie chicken from any of these chains, cutting actual hands-on time to 15 minutes. At roughly $12 to $14 total for four servings ($3–3.50 per person), cost is reasonable, though the avocado and bacon push the ticket upward compared to simpler salads. This is a one-shot dish that doesn't reheat well, so portion it carefully and plan for same-night eating; the real strength is speed and flexibility—swap the protein, skip the cheese, use whatever vinaigrette you have open.
