Description
A hearty, flavor-packed salad with tender chicken, beef, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies drizzled with tangy ranch dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 2 cups cooked beef, diced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 cups mixed greens (e.g., romaine, spinach, arugula)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and chill cooked chicken and beef, then dice into bite-sized pieces. Cook and crumble the bacon if not already done. Wash and dry mixed greens thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced chicken, diced beef, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Toss gently.
- No additional cooking is required. If desired, gently reheat the chicken and beef in a skillet for about 1–2 minutes and cool slightly before adding to the greens.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For added crunch, consider garnishing with extra crumbled bacon or chopped parsley. Store components separately for best texture and flavor longevity.
