Method
- Prepare all salad components. Cook chicken if needed and let cool completely before dicing.
- Cook bacon strips until crispy, drain on paper towels, and crumble when cooled.
- Hard-boil eggs, cool in ice water, peel, and halve or chop as desired.
- Wash, dry, and chop romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Make dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, blue cheese, Worcestershire, and Dijon mustard.
- Season dressing with salt, pepper, and herbs. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
- Dice avocados just before serving and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Arrange lettuce as base in serving bowl or individual plates.
- Top with chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, and blue cheese in neat rows or toss together.
- Drizzle with dressing and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, prepare components separately and assemble just before serving. Dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in refrigerator.
