Everything Chopped Salad

Though I’ll admit that I usually just throw a little of everything into my chopped salads, this combination with broccoli, Cheddar cheese, egg, bacon, and onion is one of my favorites – especially when paired with a creamy dressing. –

Ingredients:

• 1 small head iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
• 1- 2  large tomatoes, chopped
• 2/3 cup chopped yellow onion (optional)
• 1/2 cup crumbled bacon pieces
• 2/3 cup chopped broccoli
• 2/3 cup crumbled or cubed Cheddar cheese
• your favorite creamy salad dressing

Directions

1. Place chopped lettuce in my 12-inch fluted salad bowl, or any 3 quart dish.
2. Arrange remaining ingredients in neat rows for the best presentation. Serve alongside ranch, creamy Italian, or any creamy salad dressing.
3. At the table, I like to add about 2/3 cup of dressing to the bowl and toss all before serving.

Tip: You can make your own Creamy Italian Dressing by mixing 2/3 cup mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon finely minced red onion, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
