Our take on the ultimate Hollywood Golden Age salad—a rich combination of chopped lettuce, tomato, avocado, (soy) bacon, blue cheese, and eggs—needs just a little olive oil and lemon juice for dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 romaine lettuce hearts (3 oz. each), chopped (4 cups)
- 1 large tomato, finely diced (11/2 cups)
- 1 avocado, finely diced (1 cup)
- 4 slices soy bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (11/2 oz.)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
- 1 lemon, sliced into 8 wedges
Preparation
Toss together romaine, tomato, avocado, soy bacon, and blue cheese in large bowl.

Serve olive oil on the table so guests can drizzle their own.
