Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl as the base of the salad.

  2. 2

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the mixed greens.

  3. 3

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Add the avocado slices to the salad.

  4. 4

    Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs. Set them aside for topping the salad.

Cooking the Proteins

  1. 5

    Cooking the Chicken Tenders

    Grill or fry the chicken tenders until cooked through and golden brown. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side if grilling or 10-12 minutes total if frying. Once done, let them rest before slicing.

  2. 6

    Cooking the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into pieces.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 7

    Once the chicken is rested and sliced, arrange the chicken tenders on top of the mixed greens.

  2. 8

    Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the salad.

  3. 9

    Add the blue cheese crumbles evenly across the salad.

  4. 10

    Place the sliced hard-boiled eggs on the salad.

  5. 11

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.

  6. 12

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients or serve as is for a more aesthetic presentation.
