Instructions

Prepare the Base: Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce evenly on a large platter or in a salad bowl to form the base of your salad.
Add Protein and Toppings: Neatly layer the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, quartered hard-boiled eggs, sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion in rows over the lettuce, creating an appealing presentation.
Season: Lightly season the assembled salad with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences.

Notes

Use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time and add convenience.
Swap blue cheese for feta or cheddar cheese if you prefer a milder or different flavor.
For a lighter and healthier dressing option, try using a yogurt-based dressing instead of traditional vinaigrette or ranch.
