• 0.5 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
• 0.25 cup Croutons (optional, low-fat or whole-grain)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine and iceberg lettuce thoroughly. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and toss them together in a large salad bowl.

Wash the grape tomatoes and slice each in half. Add them to the bowl of lettuce.

Peel and slice the cucumber into half-moons. Add it to the salad along with the shredded carrots.

Cook the slices of low-sodium turkey bacon in a skillet or microwave until crispy. Let them cool slightly, then crumble them into small pieces. Sprinkle the bacon over the salad.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the salad for a touch of creaminess.

Step 7

If desired, add the croutons for texture, choosing a low-fat or whole-grain variety to keep the dish light.

Step 8

Drizzle the low-fat ranch dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for controlled portioning.

Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring even distribution of toppings and dressing.
