Ingredients

6 cups greens or lettuces romaine, baby greens, or fresh spinach all work
½ pint cherry tomatoes halved
1 large avocado sliced
4 hard boiled eggs peeled, and chopped in to bite size pieces *see note 1
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese optional
3 vinegar brined chicken breasts, grilled *see note 2
1/2 cup red wine vinaigrette *see note 3

Instructions

In a large bowl or on a platter, layer the greens, tomatoes, avocado, eggs, bacon and cheese.
Add the chopped chicken and pour over the dressing. Toss to coat and serve.

Notes

Note 1: Boil eggs in simmering water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and cover with cool water until you can handle them. Peel and chop. For more information see: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/deviled-eggs-recipe-1973562

Note 2: Any grilled chicken will work here as will rotisserie chicken if you're in a serious pinch. For my full vinegar brined chicken recipe, see: https://feastandfarm.com/vinegar-bbq-chicken/ This recipe is best if you can marinate the chicken the night before, but 6 to 8 hours is also good.

Note 3: See suggested recipes in body of post, or you can buy one pre-made just make sure it's low in sugar and not colored. You can also try: https://www.culinaryhill.com/homemade-red-wine-vinaigrette/
