Layer in a serving bowl:

romaine, chopped

red onions, sliced

hard boiled eggs, quartered

tomatoes, any kind, cut to size

cucumber, sliced

avocados, cut*

crumbled bacon

gorgonzola or feta cheese

croutons

grilled chicken, optional

HONEY DIJON DRESSING:

1/4 c canola oil

3 Tbsp honey

1/4 c dijon mustard

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp water

1 tsp garlic, minced

1/4 tsp sea salt

Use an immersion blender or blender to emulsify.

Keep refrigerated.

*Avocados brown quickly.

If making salad in advance, don’t cut the avocados until last minute.

NOTES:

  • Add grilled chicken to this salad to make it a main dish. If you don’t care for dijon, try it with garlic caesar, ranch or a balsamic vinaigrette.
