Preparation Method
Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly, then place it in a large salad bowl as the base.
Arrange the grilled chicken, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and cheese neatly on top of the lettuce in rows or sections.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
