Instructions
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Build the Salad Base: Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce on a large serving platter.
Arrange the Toppings: Lay the chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and tomatoes in neat, distinct rows on top of the greens (an easy way to remember the order is the acronym EAT COB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion/Bacon).
Garnish: Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives or green onions over the top.
Serve: Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad right before serving, or toss it gently at the table.
