Chopped Wedge Salad

Tips & Tricks:

• 🔪 Skip steps with knife if you completed the prep ideas!
• 🥄 Dressing ingredients are not included in the shopping list! Be sure to add them if you choose to make a dressing rather than buying pre-made.
• 🥚 Make extra boiled eggs for snacks. Would be great as a pre/post workout snack topped with everything but the bagel seasoning!
• 🥚 My hack for easy peel hard boiled eggs can be found here. The key is the warm bath while the pot of water comes to a boil.
• 🥗 All salad ingredients are optional! Switch things up, add more of your favorite toppings, or ax any of these toppings you don’t like.
• 🐓 If you purchased a rotisserie chicken and have extra, add it to the salads!
