This hearty yet light salad is perfect for a nutritious lunch or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette or dressing of your choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large serving platter or bowl, arrange the mixed salad greens evenly as the base layer for the salad.
  2. Add the Vegetables and Protein: Layer the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced cooked chicken breast, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the greens in an attractive pattern.
  3. Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette evenly over the salad, or alternatively, serve the dressing on the side allowing guests to add as desired to keep the ingredients fresh and crisp.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and bacon and consider adding roasted chickpeas or tofu.
  • Use fresh, high-quality greens to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Hard-boil eggs in advance to save preparation time.
  • Customize the dressing to your preference; a lemon vinaigrette or ranch dressing works well too.
  • For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or seeds like walnuts or sunflower seeds.
