This salad is one of my favorite ways to pull together a quick meal when I want something fresh and filling. It brings together all the best flavors in one bowl, and it is always a hit with my family.

Since it uses simple ingredients, you can easily throw this together on a busy weeknight. If you have extra cooked chicken on hand, it makes the assembly even faster.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the chopped romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl as your base.

  2. 2

    Arrange the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion on top of the greens.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salad ingredients.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the ranch dressing over the top just before you are ready to serve.

  5. 5

    Toss everything together gently until well coated, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your liking.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing separately from the salad if you are prepping this in advance to keep the lettuce crisp. You can add extra protein like hard boiled eggs or avocado for a more filling meal.
