BLT Chopped Salad

This is my favorite lunch salad hands-down because it is loaded with protein so it keeps me full until dinner. It serves two people so it is our grown-up lunch while the kids eat something simpler. I double the recipe and then save the other 2 servings in glass containers in the fridge to take for lunches when I'm teaching. I just add half a lime and the avocado later. This is a fresh and super enjoyable lunch!

BLT Chopped Salad

Ingredients:
2 cups Romaine or Butter Lettuce, chopped
2 cups Arugula
handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 ear of fresh bicolor sweet corn, kernels removed with a knife (Yep, you eat them raw, uncooked!)
1/2 cup feta cheese
4 slices of applewood bacon, cooked and chopped
1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
1 avocado, chopped
1 lime
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:
Divide all of the salad ingredients between two plates. Cut the lime in half and squeeze half the lime over each plate. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
