Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the iceberg lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any damaged outer leaves and cut the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions into small pieces. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Eggs

    Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of boiling water for 9-12 minutes. Once cooked, cool them under cold running water, peel, and chop into quarters.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.

  5. 5

    Slice the Meats

    Slice the turkey breast and ham into thin strips.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, start with the iceberg lettuce as the base. Layer the diced tomatoes, green peppers, and onions on top.

  2. 7

    Add Meats and Cheese

    Next, add the sliced turkey, ham, and chopped bacon over the vegetables. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  3. 8

    Top with Eggs and Croutons

    Garnish the salad with the chopped hard-boiled eggs and croutons.

  4. 9

    Serve the Salad

    Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side for guests to add their preferred amount.
