Instructions

Prepare the base: Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce evenly on a large serving platter or in a salad bowl as the foundation of your Cobb Salad.
Add the toppings: Neatly arrange the diced cooked chicken breast, crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion in distinct rows over the lettuce, creating a colorful and attractive presentation.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified and well combined.
Dress the salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad just before serving to maintain the crispness of the ingredients.
Serve: Toss the salad gently if desired, or serve as arranged for a classic look, and enjoy immediately for best freshness and flavor.

Notes

Substitute feta cheese for blue cheese if preferred for a milder flavor.
Rotisserie chicken works well for a quick and convenient protein option.
Add cucumber slices for extra crunch and freshness.
