Romaine Chopped Salad
Vitamin B-rich hazelnuts add crunch to this simple dish.
“This healthy lunch features healthy fats like avocado and olive oil and an umami-packed dressing,” says Seattle-based chef Dana Tough of ChefSteps. “For those who want a heartier lunch, use more of the vinaigrette,” he notes.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons Carolina gold bbq sauce
- 1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped
- 20 hazelnuts
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 1 four minute egg
- ⅓ cup feta
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions
In a bowl, make the vinaigrette by mixing together the olive oil and Carolina gold bbq sauce. Place in a small, airtight container.
In a separate container, combine the romaine lettuce, hazelnuts, and avocado. Place the unpeeled egg and feta in another container and store everything in the fridge.
