Steps

Preparation

Hard-boil the eggs (about 10 minutes in boiling water), then cool, peel, and quarter them. Cook the bacon slices until crispy in a skillet over medium heat, then place them on paper towels to drain excess fat and crumble. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then cook both sides in a little oil until cooked through and golden brown (about 6-8 minutes per side). Let cool, then dice.

Vegetables & Cheese

Wash and tear or chop the Romaine lettuce. Dice the tomatoes and avocados. Crumble the Roquefort cheese. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the chives.

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until emulsified.

Assemble the Salad

Arrange the Romaine lettuce in a large bowl or on four individual plates. Neatly arrange the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, egg quarters, tomatoes, avocado, crumbled Roquefort cheese, and red onion in rows on top. Sprinkle with fresh chives. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
