Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Dry it using a salad spinner or pat it down with paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the Chicken

    Take the cooked chicken breast and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Add the diced chicken to the bowl with the chopped romaine.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Vegetables

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado to the salad bowl, mixing gently to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add the Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the salad, ensuring even distribution throughout.

Dressing Application

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the basil ranch dressing over the salad mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to gently toss the salad until all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
