Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Salad:
  • – 6 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
  • – 2 cups cooked chicken breast sliced (about 12 oz cooked)
  • – 4 large eggs hard-boiled and quartered
  • – 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • – 1 large avocado sliced
  • – 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • – 1/2 cup diced red onion optional
  • – 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta/cheddar
  • For the Dressing Quick Red Wine Vinaigrette:
  • – 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • – 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • – 1 small garlic clove minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • – 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • – 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • – 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • – 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • – 1/2 cup olive oil

Equipment

  • – Large skillet (or sheet pan for bacon)
  • – Medium pot (for eggs)
  • – Cutting board and knife
  • Salad bowl
  • – Small jar or bowl (for dressing)

Method
 

  1. Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover for 10–12 minutes. Cool, peel, and quarter.
  2. Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.
  3. Make the dressing: In a jar or bowl, whisk red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, honey (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil until combined. Shake again before serving.
  4. Assemble the salad: Add romaine to a large platter or bowl. Arrange chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cheese in rows (or toss gently).
  5. Drizzle with dressing right before serving (or serve dressing on the side for picky eaters).

Notes

– For meal prep, store chicken, eggs, bacon, and veggies in containers; keep avocado and dressing separate until serving.
– Storage: Refrigerate ingredients up to 4 days (avocado is best fresh).
– To keep it extra high-protein, add an extra egg or an extra 1/2 cup chicken per serving.
