Ingredients

• 6 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. Peel and dice the eggs.

Step 2

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce into a large salad bowl or platter as the base of the salad.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the cucumber. Ripen the avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and dice. Arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and chickpeas in rows or sections on top of the lettuce.

Step 4

Scatter the crumbled blue cheese and sliced red onion evenly across the salad.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Gently toss if desired, or serve as is for a composed salad presentation.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a fresh and satisfying meal on its own or pair with your favorite bread.
