Monster Chicken Chopped Salad

I posted my standard chop almost 2 years ago and it was totally paleo.   This one is not paleo but still very healthy and really delicious!  I use 2 different lettuces which I think is a nice touch and more nutritious than only romaine.  I made it last week for a few friends and it was a great recipe to feed a group.  Best part  I had the chicken from my crock pot recipe and did the bacon the night before.  So I had a VERY easy time day of the dinner.   I served with the roasted potatoes from last week and it was perfect!

Ingredients for salad (this was a huge platter that fed 5 with leftovers)

• 1 clamshell of mixed greens
• 3 heads of romaine chopped in strips
• 1 container mozzarella balls
• 8 strips bacon cooked and chopped
• 1 container cherry tomato halved
• 2 avocado diced
• 3 chicken breasts shredded
• 1 can garbanzo beans
• 1/4 box of pasta rings cooked

Ingredients for dressing

• 3/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 
• 1 teaspoon of mustard
• 1 clove of garlic
• a pinch of sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
