Ingredients
  

4 cups mixed greens (romaine, arugula, and spinach)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

1 medium avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cooking the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and then crumble. Boil the eggs in water for about 10-12 minutes for hard-boiling, then cool, peel, and chop them. Dice the avocado and chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cherry tomatoes and red onion.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl, add a generous layer of mixed greens as the base. Arrange the chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and blue cheese on top of the greens in sections, making sure each ingredient is visually distinct.

        Drizzle and Garnish: Pour the dressing over the salad evenly, and garnish with freshly chopped herbs for an added pop of flavor and color.

          Serve Immediately: Toss gently or leave the layers as is for presentation. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
