Instructions

PREP THE LETTUCE + EGGS:

Chop, rinse, and pat dry thoroughly the lettuce leaves, then transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet lined with paper towel to further dry for a few minutes.
Cook the hard-boiled eggs and once cooled, remove the shells and quarter the eggs.

TO MAKE THE BUFFALO CHICKEN:

In a bowl, add the chicken and buffalo sauce together, stirring until combined.

TO MAKE THE DRESSING:

To make the dressing, be sure to follow my Blue Cheese Dressing recipe.

ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:

On your favorite serving platter, arrange the lettuce followed by the remaining ingredients: onions, buffalo chicken, roasted chickpeas (if using), chopped bacon, halved tomatoes, sliced avocado (or guacamole), eggs, blue cheese crumble, croutons, and drizzle with blue cheese dressing. NOTE: You can serve the dressing on the side or atop salad if desired.
Bon Appetit!
