Italian Chopped Salad - Using romaine, ditalini pasta, chicken, bacon, blue cheese, honey mustard, & more, makes this one of our NEW favorite salad recipes!
1cupcooked and cooled ditalini pasta(About 1/2 cup uncooked.)
3headsromaine lettuce
1.5cupschopped red cabbageraw
5green onionschopped
2roma tomatoeschopped
1cupblue cheese crumbles
honey mustard dressing
Instructions
Begin by dicing chicken tenderloins in to small, bite-size peices and saute and cook thouroughly in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Set aside.
Cook bacon according to package directions. (I prefer a softer bacon texture, rather than crunchy for this particular salad.) Set aside.
Tear romaine leaves off of the stalks and wash and dry (air or salad spinner).
With a knife (my favorite knife) chop lettuce into bitesize peices. (I remove most of the white stalks and disgard, as this tends to add bitter flavors to the salad.)
Chop remaining veggies and bacon in to small, bite-size peices.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss with honey mustard dressing, either individually or as a bulk salad! (Just remember, tossing all of your salad with the dressing will make any leftovers soggy!)
