Ingredients

    1. 1 head iceberg lettuce, cleaned and chopped
    2. 1/2 cup ditalini
    3. 4 slices bacon
    4. 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
    5. 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
    6. 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
    7. 1 avocado, peeled and chopped
    8. 1 -2 teaspoon season salt
    9. 1 small chicken breast (optional)

Directions

  1. Cook pasta per package instructions.
  2. After draining pasta in colander, rinse the pasta in cold water to cool off. Once drained and cooled, sprinkle with Season Salt, to taste. (I use Tastefully Simple but I am sure other brands would work as well).
  3. Fry bacon on stovetop. Once crisp, pat to remove excess oil and crumble.
  4. If using chicken, boil chicken to cook. Once cooked through, chop into small pieces. Please note: I do not often use chicken but, when I do I use a small breast or 1/2 of a breast.
  5. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss.
  6. Although I do not use salad dressing, my family uses a light vinigrette (their current favorite is sun-dried tomato) as a dressing with the salad.
  7. Also, ingredients can be removed or their amounts adjusted to meet the tastes of people eating the salad although the basic ingredients remain the same.
