Ingredients: For the Salad:
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
For the Dressing:
- 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large glass serving dish or trifle bowl, layer the chopped romaine lettuce evenly on the bottom as the base layer.
- Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes in a single layer on top of the lettuce, followed by a layer of diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, and shredded carrots, ensuring each layer is evenly distributed.
- Scatter the diced cooked chicken breast over the vegetables as the next layer, followed by the crumbled turkey bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Finish by sprinkling the sliced green onions over the top to add a pop of color and flavor.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined to create the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the top of the salad, ensuring it coats all the layers.
- Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
- Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and serve the Seven-Layer Salad immediately, either as a standalone meal or as a side dish to accompany your favorite entrees.
