Yield 1
Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 head of romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas trimmed and halved
  • 1 ear of corn boiled for about 10 minutes, then kernels removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • A handful of fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup leftover rotisserie chicken shredded or chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • Dairy-free ranch dressing recipe below

Instructions

  • 1. Start by chopping the romaine lettuce and placing it in a large salad bowl. Trim and halve the sugar snap peas, and add them to the bowl. Remove the kernels from the boiled corn and add them as well.
  • 2. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and toss them into the salad. Add a handful of chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.
  • 3. Shred or chop the leftover rotisserie chicken and add it to the salad. The chicken adds a satisfying protein boost and makes the salad more filling.
  • 4. Slice the avocado and arrange it on top of the salad for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • 5. Drizzle with your favorite dairy-free ranch dressing. If you’re using a homemade ranch dressing, just mix together some plant-based mayo, a splash of lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6. Toss everything together gently so that the flavors mix but the avocado remains mostly intact. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, crunchy goodness!
