Begin by preparing the salad base. Rinse and chop the romaine lettuce and combine with the baby greens in a large salad bowl.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced avocado to the bowl.
Scatter the chopped hard-boiled eggs and crumbled bacon evenly over the salad base.
Top with the sliced grilled chicken. If needed, grill the chicken breasts seasoned with a bit of black pepper until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and roasted corn on the salad. If using frozen corn, cook it quickly in a skillet to roast and thaw before adding.
Prepare the low sodium ranch dressing by whisking together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, fresh parsley, and fresh chives in a medium-sized bowl.
Add water gradually to the dressing until the desired consistency is achieved, then add black pepper to taste.
Drizzle the homemade dressing over the salad just before serving.
Toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly and serve immediately for best freshness.
