Ingredients
- 4 to 6 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese

- 1 1/2 tablespoons dry Ranch seasoning
- kosher salt, pepper
- 6 cups chopped lettuce or salad mix of choice
- 1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half

Instructions

Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium low. Use kitchen scissors to cut bacon into bite size pieces right into the skillet or griddle. Cook 7 to 9 minutes, mixing a few times. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Divide lettuce between 2 bowls or plates and top each with tomatoes, bacon, chicken (if using), and cottage cheese ranch dressing.
