# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Prepare your homemade dressing (blue cheese or vinaigrette) and set it aside to infuse while you make the salad.
02 -
Place a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, and add the cooked shredded chicken. Warm the chicken for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat. Add the buffalo sauce, toss until all the chicken is coated, and set aside.
03 -
Layer the lettuce into two large bowls (wide and shallow for presentation) and top each bowl with half of the ingredients: microgreens, buffalo chicken, bacon, eggs, blue cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, and green onion.
04 -
When ready to eat, drizzle the tops of the salads with your preferred amount of homemade dressing or vinaigrette and sprinkle with ground pepper and salt to taste.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
If making ahead, store the dressing separately and slice the avocado on the day of serving to prevent browning.
