Equipment

  • 1 Chef's knife (For uniform chopping)
  • 1 Large bowl (For tossing salad)

Ingredients

  • 6 cups romaine lettuce - chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets - finely chopped
  • ½ pound bacon - cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
  • ½ cup corn kernels - fresh or canned
  • ¼ cup red onion - finely diced
  • 1 cup ranch dressing - creamy
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese - shredded

Instructions 

  • Wash the romaine and broccoli carefully and chop into small uniform pieces.
  • Fry the bacon in a pan until it reaches a deep golden brown and crispy texture.
  • Dice the tomatoes, corn, and red onion into small pieces for easy mixing.
  • Combine all prepared ingredients in a large bowl with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Drizzle ranch dressing over the mixture and toss until everything is coated.

Notes

Use thick-cut bacon for the best crunch and smoke flavor. Ensure your lettuce is completely dry after washing so the dressing coats every leaf evenly.
