Instructions

Wash and dry the romaine and watercress, then chop them into bite-sized pieces and spread on a large platter or divide into four bowls
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy while boiling the eggs for 9 minutes for a perfect hard-set yolk
Dice the cooked chicken breast and crumble the cooled bacon. Peel and slice the eggs into halves or quarters
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning
Assemble the salad by arranging chicken, bacon, tomatoes, eggs, avocado, and blue cheese in neat rows on top of the greens
Sprinkle the fresh chives over the top and serve the dressing on the side or drizzle it lightly just before eating

Notes

Store components separately to keep the salad fresh for up to three days.

For a vegan version, swap chicken with chickpeas and use a vegan bacon alternative.
