If you don't like I ranch, you may love my red wine vinaigrette. It goes great on this salad!
Sliced avocado is also very delicious on this salad.
If you are opposed to all deli meat, feel free to sub in some diced chicken breast. I have lots of options for you there: Instant Pot chicken breasts, baked chicken breasts, Air Fryer chicken breasts or grill pan chicken breasts would all be yummy.
