The salad itself was pretty easy to make. I used a lined sheet pan to bake the chicken and the bacon in the oven at the same time which made clean-up a lot easier. I already had a few boiled eggs in the fridge, so while things were baking I sliced them up along with the cherry tomatoes. For the greens I stuck with romaine, but you could definitely add in some mixed greens or kale too. Once everything was prepped and ready to go, I tossed it with some Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Caesar Salad Dressing and served it with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. It was so delicious. Our family devoured it (along with the pizza) in seconds. We will definitely be making this version again & again!
