Instructions

Prepare the Base: Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce evenly on a large serving platter or in a big serving bowl to create the fresh green base of the salad.
Layer the Toppings: Neatly arrange the diced cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion in rows or sections over the bed of lettuce for an appealing presentation.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is emulsified and well combined.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the assembled salad just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and crisp.
Serve: Toss gently if desired to combine all flavors, then serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and texture of the salad ingredients.

Notes

Substitute feta cheese for blue cheese if you prefer a milder flavor or have a blue cheese intolerance.
Rotisserie chicken is an excellent shortcut for the cooked chicken breast to save prep time.
Adding cucumber slices adds extra crunch and freshness to the salad.
