Ingredients
Basic:
- 2 heads of Romaine lettuce hearts
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices of bacon
Add-ons:
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, diced
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
Prep:
- Make the Ranch dressing and refrigerate it until you're ready to drizzle it. Store bought Ranch is just as good.
- Wash and chop the romaine lettuce hearts, and slice the tomatoes in half
- Cook the bacon in a pan or microwave until crispy. Place it between some paper towels to absorb any excess fat. Once cool, chop the bacon.
Assemble:
- In a large salad bowl, make a base with the chopped Romaine. Place the tomatoes and the bacon on top. Add any add-ons, like shredded cheese and avocado (or croutons) on top.
- Drizzle the Ranch, or your favorite salad dressing over the salad.
For meal prep:
- Layer all the salad ingredients inside 4 meal prep containers, except for the sliced avocado. Pack about 2 tablespoons of salad dressing inside four small, lidded containers. The day you're going to eat it, dice ¼ of an avocado and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle the salad dressing right before eating.
