    Chop the Romaine

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

    Dice the tomato and avocado. Slice the hard-boiled eggs. Add these ingredients to the bowl with the romaine.

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Assembling the Salad
