Instructions

Add the chopped romaine lettuce to a large salad bowl.
Layer on the toppings: quartered hard-boiled eggs, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced turkey (or chicken), and cubed cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl or jar, stir together the ranch dressing ingredients.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine until the salad is evenly coated.
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper before serving for an extra touch of flavor.

Notes

Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese with Swiss, mozzarella, or feta depending on your taste.
For a vegan option, omit the cheese and eggs, and use a plant-based dressing.
Mix in fruits like apple slices or grapes for a sweet contrast.
