Ingredients
- 1 1 cup crumbled blue cheese you only need 1/2 cup cheese if you are going to forego the blue cheese dressing and only use blue cheese for the salad
- ¼ ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper
- 8 8 slices Bacon chopped
- 2 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 3 romaine hearts chopped
- 1 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 2 medium ripe avocados pitted, skinned and chopped
- 3 3 hard-boiled eggs peeled and quartered
Instructions
- Process 1/2 cup cheese, oil, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until well combined. (This step is only if you want to use the blue cheese dressing – omit this step if you are going to use your favorite salad dressing.)
- Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in bacon fat until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate and let cool 5 minutes.
- Combine lettuce, tomatoes, remaining cheese, cooled chicken, and dressing in large bowl. Top salad with crisp bacon, avocados, and eggs. Serve.
