Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • Romaine Lettuce – 6 cups, chopped
  • Cherry Tomatoes – 1 cup, halved
  • Avocado – 1, diced
  • Hard-Boiled Eggs – 2, peeled and sliced
  • Bacon – 4 strips, cooked and crumbled
  • Grilled Chicken Breast – 1 large, sliced
  • Blue Cheese Crumbles – 1/4 cup

Double Dill Ranch Dressing

  • Double Dill Ranch Dressing – 1/2 cup (herb-forward, creamy, with fresh dill)

Seasonings & Extras

  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional: Lemon juice (for avocado and dressing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves. Dice the avocado just before assembling to avoid browning, optionally tossing it with a little lemon juice.
  2. Cook the Proteins: Grill the chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper until cooked through and juicy, then slice thinly. Boil the eggs until hard-cooked, peel, and slice. Fry or bake bacon strips until crispy and crumble them.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Lay a bed of romaine on a large platter or individual plates. Arrange rows of grilled chicken, bacon, cherry tomatoes, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, and blue cheese crumbles on top, creating a colorful and visually appealing presentation.
  4. Drizzle with Double Dill Ranch Dressing: Generously spoon the creamy Double Dill Ranch dressing over the salad, ensuring every portion receives the fresh herb flavors that tie all ingredients together.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill in the dressing for vibrant and authentic flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing; keep the salad layered or lightly tossed to preserve texture and presentation.
  • Prep proteins in advance and chill to speed up assembly time.
  • To keep avocado fresh, toss pieces with lemon juice before adding.
  • Adjust seasoning by tasting the dressing and salad, adding salt or lemon as needed.
