Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Bleu cheese crumbles
- 4 strips Cooked bacon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce and arugula. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and combine it with the arugula in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Finely slice the red onion into thin strips and add all these vegetables to the salad bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice the avocado into cubes and gently fold it into the salad to prevent smashing.
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and sprinkle it over the salad along with the bleu cheese crumbles.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine and coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chopped Salad with Bleu Cheese and Avocado!
