Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2/3 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Arrange chopped romaine lettuce in a large salad bowl or platter.
- Top the lettuce with rows of chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese, and green onions if using.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side.
- Toss gently to combine if preferred before serving.
Notes
- Grilled chicken adds extra flavor; rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver.
- Swap blue cheese with feta or goat cheese if preferred.
- Make the dressing ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Best served fresh, but ingredients can be prepped in advance for easy assembly.
