Ingredients
- 10 ounces spring greens chopped, or lettuce
- 3 cups chicken chopped, cooked
- 1 to 2 avocado diced
- 6 trips Bacon cooked to crispy perfection, thick-cut
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- ⅓ cup red onion finely chopped
- ⅔ cup pistachios shelled
- 6 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- ranch dressing to taste, dairy-free
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ranch dressing. If you’re using store-bought ranch, skip this step. Store dressing in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
- Cook the bacon over medium-high heat on the stove top, flipping every 1-2 minutes, until they reach your desired level of crisp. Transfer the bacon to a cutting board. Once it’s cool enough to handle, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.
- Similarly, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop up the salad greens and add them to a large serving bowl. Add in the chopped chicken, diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, pistachios, feta cheese, and bacon crumbles. Drizzle in your desired amount of ranch dressing and toss everything well until the ingredients are coated with dressing.
- Taste the salad for flavor and add black pepper or any additional ingredients to your personal taste. Serve and enjoy! You can turn this salad into a delicious chicken bacon ranch wrap by stuffing it into a flour tortilla.
