Ingredients
2 cups Romaine lettuce, rinsed and chopped
½ Tomato, sliced
½ Avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
½ cup Cooked bacon, chopped
½ cup Croutons
Salad dressing of choice
Directions
Prepare all ingredients. Rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato into wedges or half-moons. Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced avocado, cooked bacon, and croutons.
Toss all ingredients together gently to distribute evenly.
Drizzle your choice of salad dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every major Charlotte grocery chain, and romaine, tomatoes, and avocados are reliably stocked year-round despite North Carolina's seasonal focus on collards and sweet potatoes. A single serving costs roughly $4–5 depending on bacon quality and avocado price, which is reasonable for a lunch with protein and fat. The stated 10 minutes is honest if you buy pre-made croutons and have dressing on hand; if you're toasting bread, add 5–7 minutes. This is a same-night dish that doesn't reheat well, and it's designed for one person, so it's ideal for a quick lunch rather than family meal planning.
