Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup ranch or vinaigrette dressing of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cooking and dicing the chicken breast. Boil the eggs, peel, and cut them in half. Cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it. Slice the avocado, tomatoes, and red onion.
- Assemble the Salad: Divide the romaine lettuce evenly into four meal prep containers. Top each container with equal portions of diced chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, bacon crumbles, blue cheese (if using), and red onion.
- Pack the Dressing: Keep the dressing separate in small containers to prevent the salad from getting soggy. Add the dressing right before eating.
- Store: Seal the meal prep containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, drizzle with dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- To keep the avocado fresh, you can squeeze a little lemon juice over the slices before packing.
- For a low-carb version, skip the blue cheese and use a sugar-free dressing.
