Salad Base

Protein Toppings

Method

Preparing Salad Base

  1. 1

    Chop Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice Cherry Tomatoes and Cucumber

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl. Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add to the bowl as well.

Preparing Protein Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare Chicken

    If using raw chicken, season and cook the chicken breast until fully cooked, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked chicken, simply chop it.

  2. 4

    Hard-Boil Eggs

    Place eggs in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel, and chop.

  3. 5

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.

  4. 6

    Add Blue Cheese

    Measure out blue cheese crumbles and set aside for topping.

Making the Dressing

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In the prepared salad bowl, layer the chopped romaine, tomatoes, and cucumber as the base. Top with cooked chicken, sliced hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese.

  2. 9

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
