Ingredients
8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 lb smoked bacon, cooked and chopped
8 oz cooked chicken breast, chopped
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
3/4 cup avocado ranch dressing
Directions
Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl, creating an even base for the salad.
Arrange the cooked bacon pieces, chopped chicken breast, diced avocado, tomato pieces, and crumbled blue cheese evenly over the romaine lettuce.
Drizzle the avocado ranch dressing over the top of the salad and toss all ingredients together until well coated and evenly distributed.
Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and fresh.
Comments
All ingredients are standard at every Charlotte grocery chain, though you'll want to budget for quality bacon and a good blue cheese to make this salad shine—expect $3–4 per serving just for the protein and cheese. The stated 20 minutes is honest if your chicken is already cooked; if you're starting from raw, plan on 35 minutes total including a quick pan-sear. This is a showstopper for weeknight lunches or a light dinner, especially summer when tomatoes and avocados are local and affordable, but it's a same-night dish that doesn't reheat well—the lettuce wilts and the avocado darkens.
