Salad Base
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
- 2
Slice the Vegetables
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Core and chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add all the chopped vegetables to the bowl with romaine lettuce.

Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs
If not prepared already, hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 9-12 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into quarters. Add them to the salad bowl.
- 4
Add Cheese
Grate the cheddar cheese if not already shredded. Sprinkle the cheese over the salad mixture in the bowl.
- 5
Add Chicken (if using)
If you are adding diced chicken, ensure that it is pre-cooked and diced into small pieces. Add it to the salad bowl and gently toss the ingredients together.
- 6
Toss the Salad
Gently toss all the ingredients together in the salad bowl until well combined, ensuring the cheese, eggs, and chicken are evenly distributed.
