Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: dice the cooked chicken breast, halve the cherry tomatoes, crumble the bacon, and slice the avocado and red onion.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced chicken, cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and sliced avocado.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl.
- Drizzle the salad with ranch dressing. You can adjust the amount of dressing to your liking—more if you love a creamy salad, or less for a lighter touch.
- Toss everything gently until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste. Enjoy the blend of textures and flavors that make this salad a family favorite.
Remember, cooking is a personal journey, and even a simple salad can be a canvas for your creativity. Don’t hesitate to add a touch of your favorite seasoning or a splash of lemon juice for a zesty finish.
