Description

A hearty and flavorful Country Club Salad featuring mixed greens, cooked turkey and ham, crispy bacon, cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and hard-boiled eggs, tossed with creamy ranch dressing for a satisfying and easy-to-make meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, sliced

Proteins

  • 1/2 cup cooked turkey breast, diced
  • 1/2 cup cooked ham, diced
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Dairy & Dressing

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or dressing of choice)


Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cooked turkey breast, cooked ham, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix them to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Add Protein Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon and arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs over the top of the salad to add texture and flavor.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle ranch dressing evenly over the salad. You can adjust the amount to your preference or serve it on the side.
  4. Toss or Serve: Toss the salad gently to coat everything with dressing, or leave the dressing on the side if preferred by diners.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the salad fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked and cooled turkey, ham, and bacon for best taste and texture.
  • Customize the dressing type based on dietary preference or availability.
  • Hard-boiled eggs can be prepped and refrigerated ahead of time to save prep time.
  • For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or seeds.
  • This salad is best eaten fresh; storing with dressing mixed may wilt the greens.
