Ingredients
Vinaigrette Dressing (or use Ranch)
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1/2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad
- 8 lices Bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped into bite size pieces
- 2 1/2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 3 oz blue cheese crumbled, or 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (we prefer cheddar)
Instructions
- For the bacon: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Lay bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, about 12 - 20 minutes (bake time varies based on thickness of bacon).
- Drain on paper towels, then chop.
- For the eggs: Add 1-inch of water to a 4 quart pot or saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add eggs, cover with lid and let cook 14 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water right away. Let rest 15 minutes, then peel eggs and chop.
- Prepare salad: Layer lettuce into a large salad bowl or among five serving plates. Top with bacon, eggs, tomatoes, onions, avocado and blue cheese.
- Whisk dressing again then pour over salad and serve.
Notes
- Use a chilled dressing for a refreshing salad.
- Rinse chopped lettuce leaves well then run through a salad spinner to dry well so dressing sticks to lettuce. I like this one here.
- Wait to add dressing until ready to serve so lettuce doesn't wilt.
- Don't chop avocado until ready to serve as it will start to brown.
- For less harsh red onion rinse after chopping under water and drain.
