The method

Step by step

Prepare the salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Whisk well until emulsified.
2
Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce evenly on a large platter or in individual serving bowls.
About 1 min
3
Carefully arrange the diced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, diced tomato, and crumbled blue cheese in separate rows or sections over the lettuce.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Creating neat rows makes for an attractive presentation.
4

About 1 min

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve the dressing on the side.

Cook’s note: Serving dressing on the side allows each person to add to their preference and keeps the salad from getting soggy.
