Ingredients

Salad:

2 large eggs hard-boiled
2 large chicken breasts cooked and sliced
6 slices bacon cooked until crispy
1 medium avocado
1 medium English cucumber diced into quarters
1/4 medium red onion thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
6 cups romaine lettuce rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup blue or feta cheese

Dressing:

1 small shallot finely diced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/3 cup avocado or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Hard boil the eggs, allow to cool. Peel and slice; set aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add chicken and cook on both sides for approximately 4-5 minutes or until center is no longer pink. Allow to rest for 5 minutes and then cut into strips. Set aside.
Cook bacon in the skillet you used to cook the chicken until brown and crispy. Set aside to cool and then chop into small pieces.
Dice avocado and cucumber. Slice the red onion and cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Rinse romaine lettuce and chop into bite size pieces. Pat to dry.
To Assemble Salad: Arrange chopped lettuce on a platter to create a base layer. Arrange the boiled eggs, chicken slices, bacon pieces, avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes in lines on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle cheese crumbles over the top, or add them in a line next to the other ingredients.

For the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the shallot, vinegar, dijon mustard, oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Serve the dressing on the side, or drizzle over the top of your salad just before serving. Enjoy!
