Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Place the chopped Romaine lettuce evenly on a large serving platter or plate, spreading it out as the base for the salad.
- Add the Toppings: Arrange the chopped chicken, toasted almonds, blackberries, raspberries, diced hardboiled eggs, diced avocado, and crumbled blue cheese in visually appealing rows over the lettuce.
- Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle the Wish-Bone Italian dressing over the salad to coat all the toppings and enhance the flavors. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute or add other fresh berries, such as strawberries or blueberries, for extra color and flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more eggs or extra cheese, or use plant-based protein.
- Toast raw almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance their crunch and flavor.
- Assemble just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and prevent the lettuce from wilting.
- Try swapping blue cheese for feta or goat cheese if you prefer milder flavors.
