Pittsburgh Salad
A hearty salad that originated in Pittsburgh, it's unique spin on the leafy dish features grilled chicken or steak and a heaping helping of crispy French fries.
Ingredients
- lettuce, roughly chopped
- grape tomatoes
- grilled chicken breast, or steak
- a dozen crispy french fries
- blend of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses
- ranch dressing
Instructions
- Cook the french fries according to package directions, making sure to double, triple, quadruple the amount for the number of desired salads.
- Place the desired amount of lettuce into a large, shallow bowl or onto a large plate. Add a handful of tomatoes. Place your grilled chicken, or steak, on top in the center.
- After cooking, let the fries cool so that they're warm but no longer actually hot. Spread the fries out over the assembled salad.
- Sprinkle with the desired amount of cheese, we usually use 1/4 cup per salad. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Repeat as many times as necessary for the number of salads required.
