Serves 4
for the dressing:
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup full-fat greek yogurt
juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
rind of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tsp), minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp each chopped chives and fresh tarragon
1 tsp each salt and Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
for the salad:
2 heads romaine lettuce (or a mixture of lettuces), chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 avocado, sliced
1 2.25oz can sliced olives, drained
2 grilled chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 roma tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped
3oz cooked bacon, chopped
2oz bleu cheese, crumbled
Make no mistake about it, the real star of this show is the dressing. It’s incredibly flavorful and creamy, especially considering that it only uses 1/4 cup of yogurt as a base. To make it, combine all of the dressing ingredients and blend until well mixed. I used my handy Magic Bullet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.
The rest of the salad couldn’t be easier. Prep all of the ingredients above and throw them all together. Whether you want to make them pretty looking is up to you (and probably dependent on whether or not you’re going to be taking pictures of your meal).
