Ingredients

Chicken Club Salad:

5 cups romaine lettuce chopped, rinsed and dried
6 slices bacon cooked and chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs sliced in half
1 large avocado sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 small red onion sliced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped for garnish (optional)
2 tablespoons green onions chopped for garnish (optional)

Creamy Balsamic Salad Dressing:

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves pressed or finely minced
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ a lime roughly 1/4 cup
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Start by preparing and chopping all the salad ingredients and keep them aside.
Next, take a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and emulsified. Quick tip: toss all the ingredients in a blender or use an immersion blender.
On a large serving plate (or a bowl) layer the romaine lettuce, bacon, cooked eggs, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Once you have layered them all, top the salad with the chopped chicken.
Slowly pour the balsamic dressing over the salad, adding as much as you'd like. Top with parsley and green onions.

Notes
