Ingredients:

8     cups          torn romaine lettuce
1     small bunch   chicory (curly endive)
12    ounces        cooked turkey breast
1/2   cup           crumbled blue cheese
1/4   cup           fat-free cottage cheese
1     large         tomato
1/2                 green or sweet red pepper
1/2                 yellow pepper
1     small         red onion
4                   hard-cooked egg whites
4     slices        turkey bacon
                    and crumbled
1     cup           fat-free or reduced-fat salad dressing

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a large bowl, combine the romaine and chicory. Divide the mixture among four salad plates. Top each with the turkey, mounding it in the center of the romaine mixture.
In a small bowl, use a fork to stir together the blue cheese and cottage cheese. Mound the cheese mixture on top of the romaine near the turkey. Then attractively arrange small mounds of the tomatoes (if desired), peppers, onions and egg whites on top of the romaine. Sprinkle with turkey bacon. Serve with desired dressing.
This recipe yields 4 main-dish salads.
Comments: The original version of this salad is a good example of how fat-laden toppings can transform a healthy salad into something that's not good for you. Slim down this California classic by modifying the toppings and using a lighter dressing. You can choose virtually any fat-free or reduced-fat commercial dressing, but more authentic choices include Dijon and Tarragon Dressing, Creamy Pesto Dressing or Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing.
