Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Wash the romaine lettuce and the cherry tomatoes. Trim the lettuce and cut it into pieces. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

  2. Cook the chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into cubes. Heat the skillet over medium heat with no fat. Add the chicken, season lightly with salt and cook for 8 to 10 min, stirring, until it's white and cooked through.

  3. Cook the eggs

    Lower the eggs into the saucepan of boiling water. Let them cook for 8 min for a creamy yolk. Drain and run them under cold water to stop the cooking.

    Tip · For eggs that are easy to peel, add a teaspoon of vinegar to the cooking water.
  4. Crisp up the bacon

    In the same skillet as the chicken (no need to wash it), cook the bacon bits over medium heat for 4 to 5 min until crispy.

  5. Prep the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut it into cubes.

  6. Crumble the blue cheese

    Take the blue cheese out of the fridge and roughly crumble it with your fingers or a knife.

  7. Put the salad together

    In the large bowl, arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, bacon, diced avocado and the eggs cut into quarters. Sprinkle with half of the crumbled blue cheese.

    Tip · Arrange the ingredients in rows for a pro look, but toss before serving so everyone gets a bit of everything.
  8. Make the dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, cider vinegar and a pinch of salt. Whisk hard.

  9. Serve the salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Sprinkle with the rest of the crumbled blue cheese.
