3/4 cup (175 mL) PC Ranch Dressing & Dip
1 medium head iceberg lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried

6 slices Black Forest ham, about 4 oz/125 g
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Instructions

  1. In frying pan set over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain bacon on paper towel.
  2. Place lettuce leaves in large bowl. Using PC Scissorhands kitchen shears, chop until reduced in volume by about half. Add chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, ham and eggs. Use Scissorhands to chop everything until well-mixed and evenly chopped.
  3. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For perfect hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain.

This salad is lovely served in a pita bread.
