    • Super easy to put together and loaded with protein.

    Expert Tips

    • Using fresh and high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your salad. Try to use fresh lettuce and ripe tomatoes for the best results.
    • If you're not a fan of ranch dressing, you can try making your own dressing using olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. You can also use a vinaigrette or honey mustard dressing for a different flavor.
    • This salad is best served cold, so make sure to chill all the ingredients before assembling the salad.

    Variations

    • Greek: Use feta cheese instead of Swiss cheese, add some cucumber and olives, and use a Greek-style dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs like oregano and parsley.
    • Southwest: Add some black beans, corn, and avocado to your salad and use a spicy chipotle dressing made with adobo sauce, honey, and lime juice.

    Storing

    Add salad to an airtight container. Drape a damp paper towel over the top of the salad, then close the lid tight. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use a different dressing besides ranch dressing?

    Absolutely! Switch out the ranch for your favorite type of dressing. Some other popular flavors are bleu cheese, caesar and balsamic vinaigrettes.

    Would additional vegetables be good in this salad?

    Yes! Feel free to add in any other fresh vegetables that you love. Chopped carrots, sliced bell peppers, chopped celery and radishes are some examples.
