Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ⅛ teaspoon of any other salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salad:
- 2 hard-boiled eggs large, sliced
- 4 trips cooked bacon crispy, chopped
- 2 Baked chicken breast medium-size, sliced (6 oz each)
- 2 cups salad greens
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 avocado sliced; use Haas variety
- 2 oz blue cheese crumbled
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients until they emulsify into a rich salad dressing.
- Arrange the salad greens on a large serving platter.
- Assemble the salad toppings on top of the greens. I usually add them in the following order: chicken, tomatoes, avocado, eggs, bacon, and blue cheese.
- Drizzle the dressing on top of the salad and serve.

Notes
- This salad contains quite a few ingredients. And you need to cook chicken breast, bacon, and hard-boiled eggs to make it. So, I keep things simple by preparing these ingredients the day before. They need to be cold anyway. I make baked chicken breast (or broiled chicken breast), oven bacon, and hard-boiled eggs the day before and refrigerate them. The next day, assembling the salad is a breeze!
- The salad greens will become soggy if stored, and the avocado might turn brown, so I don't keep those. But the rest of the salad keeps fine in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
