When we were in NYC a few months ago we had lunch at Fred’s at Barney’s.   I had their chopped salad and loved it.  This is a spin on it!  The one I had there didn’t have blue cheese or bacon but I had some on hand so I added it in.  Let’s be real bacon and cheese are never a bad idea, EVER.

I used green goddess dressing for mine- local friends Dellz’s has the best goddess dressing and they sell it by the bottle now.  I always buy it when I pick up lunch.  It’s so good I could drink it.  This would also be great served with a balsamic dressing as well.

Enjoy!
