Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the Lettuce (5 mins): Remove the core from each head of baby artisan lettuce. On a large cutting board, carefully slice each lettuce head into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Transfer the chopped lettuce to a very large bowl.

02

Step

10 mins

Combine Main Ingredients (10 mins): Add the sliced grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced mini peppers to the bowl with the lettuce. Sprinkle the crisply chopped bacon over the mixture.

03

Step

2 mins

Dress and Toss (2 mins): Pour the ranch dressing over the salad. Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated.

04

Step

3 mins

Garnish and Season (3 mins): Sprinkle the cubed avocado and multicolored tortilla strips over the top of the salad. Season with pollo asado seasoning to taste, if desired.

For the best flavor, use freshly grilled chicken and high-quality bacon. If you are short on time, store-bought grilled chicken and pre-cooked bacon can be substituted.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice before adding it to the salad.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the ranch dressing.
This salad is best served immediately after tossing to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
