Cook the Bacon: If your bacon isn’t pre-cooked, heat it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, crumble it into bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.

Boil the Eggs: If needed, hard-boil your eggs by placing them in a pot of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes. Peel, chop, and get ready for their creamy addition.

Prepare the Greens: In a large salad bowl or platter, lay down your mixed greens as a fresh and crunchy base. Make sure they’re nicely washed and dried for the best texture.

Layer the Ingredients: Arrange the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion atop the greens in rows or sections.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the beautifully arranged salad or serve it on the side for guests to add their desired amount.

Toss and Enjoy: Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients so that every bite is packed with flavor.
