CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD

I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

This recipe isn't hard, but it is a little time-consuming. The results are worth every minute of preparation though. The salad is full of flavor and texture. We loved the mixture of veggies with the different meats. It's so hearty, you can have this as a main dish. Cool, refreshing and great for a summer picnic or BBQ.

Ingredients

2 c cauliflower; chopped
2 c broccoli; chopped
1/2 lb bacon; cut in bite-size pieces & cooked & drained
1 pt cherry tomatoes (split in half, lengthwise)
1/2 each - red, green bell peppers, chopped
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
ranch dressing (very little)
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
FOR CHICKEN BREASTS

dash(es) chicken seasoning
dash(es) California style garlic salt with parsley

Steps:

1. Grill chicken breasts. Brush with butter on the top side. Season with chicken seasoning & California Style Garlic Salt with Parsley.
2. Cut into strips & then into smaller bite-size pieces. Set aside.
3. Cook bacon. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
4. Combine all other ingredients in large bowl. Use as little ranch dressing as possible. You don't want it swimming in it. You only want it to coat it & flavor it.

6. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. If you think you might need a little more dressing at this time, go ahead & add some.
