Super Bowl Salad: Chicken Bacon Ranch Chopped Salad

This is the Super Bowl salad you bring when you want people hovering around the bowl asking who made it. It’s crunchy romaine, juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and unapologetically creamy ranch—aka the salad that doesn’t pretend to be boring.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head romaine lettuce roughly chopped
  • 4 cups cooked chicken breast chopped
  • 1 English cucumber small diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • 1 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then chop into small pieces.
    8 slices bacon
  • Prep the Greens: Roughly chop the romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces and add it to a large mixing bowl.
    1 head romaine lettuce
  • Add the Chicken: Chop the cooked chicken into small chunks, about ½-inch pieces, and add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
    4 cups cooked chicken breast
  • Chop the Vegetables: Dice the cucumber, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and slice the green onions. Add everything to the bowl so every bite has crunch and freshness.
    1 English cucumber, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 4 green onions
  • Add Bacon and Extras: Sprinkle the chopped bacon, parsley, and pine nuts over the salad for smoky flavor, freshness, and crunch.
    ½ cup fresh parsley, ½ cup pine nuts
  • Dress and Toss: Pour the ranch dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated and looks dangerously good.
    1 cup ranch dressing
  • Serve or Store: Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Expect it to soften slightly, but still disappear fast on game day.
