Shopping List
-
For the Salad
- 8 ounces pre-cooked chicken breast (rotisserie works too)
- 1/2 large head romaine lettuce (or 1 small head)
- 1 bunch watercress
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5 slices bacon
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
- 3/4 cup blue cheese (or pumpkin seeds for non-dairy)
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped For the Red Wine Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup avocado or grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl or jar until smooth. It should taste very tangy, but it will mellow out once combined with the salad ingredients.
- Step 2: Wash and dry the salad greens. Chop the lettuces and chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 3: Cook the bacon slices in a frying pan until crisp. Crumbled the cooked bacon into pieces.
- Serve: Use plates or a large platter and scatter the salad greens across the surface. Next, add rows of the hard-boiled eggs, diced chicken, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, and blue cheese. Scatter the chives on top, along with a bit of black pepper. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, to taste (and maybe a little leftover bacon grease if you dig it). Enjoy.
