Instructions

Spread the chopped Romaine lettuce across a large serving bowl or platter to form the base.
Layer the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, chopped eggs, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, and red onion in neat rows or sections over the lettuce.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until the vinaigrette emulsifies.

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving or serve it on the side. Toss gently if desired or keep it composed for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience or grill your own for extra flavor.
Feel free to swap out the blue cheese for feta or goat cheese depending on your preference.
Add sliced cucumbers or sweet corn for a veggie boost.
For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and use plant-based protein.
