  2. In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and chopped bacon.
  3. Pour the ranch dressing mixture over the chicken mixture. Combine all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.

Notes

Letting the salad chill in the fridge for a bit enhances the flavors. Serve in a clear bowl or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a fresh presentation.
