Ranch Dressing
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp water
Salad
- 2 eggs
- 3 oz. bacon
- 1/2 lb cooked chicken breast (cut into smaller pieces)
- 2 oz. blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 3 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced (optional)
- salt and ground black pepper
Start by preparing the dressing. Combine mayonnaise, ranch seasoning and water. Set aside.
Place the eggs in boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Cool in ice water for easier peeling. Roughly chop.
Fry the bacon in a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
Arrange the lettuce on a platter or individual plates. Arrange the chicken, bacon, vegetables, eggs and blue cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper, especially the eggs.
Drizzle with dressing and top with finely chopped chives.
Tips
If you’re starting with raw chicken, fry it in the bacon fat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Feel free to use different lettuces — try iceberg, spring mix, leafy greens, mesclun mix, and even arugula or baby kale.
You can swap the ranch dressing for your favorite low carb dressing or vinaigrette.
