Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the ingredients: chop the Romaine lettuce and dice the cooked chicken and avocado. Crumble the bacon and chop the hard-boiled eggs.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Set aside.

      In a large platter or salad bowl, lay a generous base of chopped Romaine lettuce.

        Arrange the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, blue cheese, and red onion in neat rows over the lettuce, creating a colorful display.

          Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad.

            Toss gently before serving, or serve with the dressing on the side for individual portions.
