Instructions

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.
