Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped
• 2 cups organic baby mixed greens
• 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 ripe avocado, cut into chunks
• 3 small campari tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
• 2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
• 3 slices glazed bacon, chopped (recipe below)
• Ranch dressing, recipe below

Glazed Bacon:

• 1/2 lb thick cut bacon
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Ranch:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon of Ranch Blend
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. First make the ranch dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Add more milk for a thinner consistency if you’d like. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and lay out the bacon, evenly spaced. Place in the cold oven and heat to 400 degrees. Once the bacon starts to sizzle, 10-15 minutes, remove from the oven, drain the fat and brush with the glaze. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
3. Toss the lettuce and chicken with the ranch and then top with avocado, tomatoes, bacon, blue cheese and pine nuts. Makes about 4 servings!
