Method
 

Assemble the Salad
  1. Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce as the base of your salad on a large platter or in a salad bowl. Evenly distribute the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese over the lettuce.
Prepare the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve
  1. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, or serve the dressing on the side for individual preference.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can customize the salad by adding other vegetables or your favorite protein. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
