For the Salad
- 8 ounces romaine, chopped (about 6 handfuls)
- 2 medium sweet potato(es)
- 8 bacon slices
- 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups crispy chickpeas (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil For the Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or white balsamic)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Dice the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Flip the potatoes over halfway through the cooking time.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, hard boil the eggs (we place eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes). After boiling, immediately submerge the eggs in ice-water to stop their cooking. Peel.
- Step 3: Next, cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy on both sides. Set aside.
- Step 4: To make the vinaigrette, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl with a fork.
- Step 5: Chop the romaine, cooked bacon, eggs, tomato, and avocado. To build the salad, layer the romaine with the warm sweet potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, and crispy chickpeas.
- Serve: Drizzle to taste with the vinaigrette. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: To make this salad paleo-friendly, substitute the crispy chickpeas with an equal amount of cooked, diced chicken. Note 2: To make this salad plant-based, substitute the bacon with tempeh bacon and the eggs with extra avocado.
