Ingredients

  • 1/2-3/4 cups ranch dressing (my favorite bottled dressings and my homemade recipe linked above)

  • 4 cups chopped romaine
  • 1 1/2 cups diced rotisserie chicken
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 2 ripe avocados, grilled
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If making ranch from scratch, do so in advance.

  2. Boil eggs: place eggs in a pot of cold water making sure eggs are covered by several inches of water. Bring to a boil. Boil for three minutes then turn off heat. Allow eggs to sit in hot water for 8 minutes. Run eggs under cold water and peel.

  3. While eggs boil: cook bacon to liking, chop lettuce, rotisserie chicken and vegetables. Set Aside. Place bacon on paper towels, chop when cool enough to handle. Set Aside

  4. Grill avocado: this can be done on an outdoor grill or on a grill pan.

  5. For grill pan: heat a grill pan on medium heat for two minutes. While pan is heating, cut avocados in half, brush each with olive oil, sprinkle with a quality sea salt and place on grill pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes until grill marks are established. Remove for heat.

    For Outdoor Grill: preheat grill to 400 degrees. While grill is heating, cut avocados in half, brush each with olive oil, sprinkle with a quality sea salt and place on grill pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes until grill marks are established. Remove for heat.

  6. Place chopped romaine, tomatoes, chicken. bacon and eggs on a platter. Toss with ranch dressing, using as much dressing as you like. Use a large spoon to scoop avocados out of skin, place on platter. Serve making sure each serving has half an avocado. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper if desired. Enjoy!
