Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Greens

    Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce and spinach under cold water. Dry them using a salad spinner or pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl. Add the spinach.

    Prepare Vegetables

    Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the radishes. Add these prepared vegetables to the salad bowl with the greens.

Adding Protein and Cheese

    Add Protein

    Add the diced cooked chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped), and bacon bits to the salad bowl on top of the greens and vegetables.

  2. 4

    Sprinkle Cheese

    Sprinkle the feta cheese and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the salad.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

Assembling and Serving

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients together.

    Serve the salad immediately in individual bowls or on a large platter. Enjoy!
