Method
step 1
Put all the dressing ingredients, along with some seasoning, to a clean jar, put on the lid tightly and shake until combined.
step 2
Cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 7 mins. Drain and run under cold water before carefully peeling and cutting into quarters.
step 3
Cook the bacon in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 mins, flipping halfway, until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
step 4
Lay out the ingredients on a large platter one by one – lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, avocado, cheese and the chicken. Crumble up the bacon and add along with the boiled eggs. Drizzle with the dressing and scatter over chives to serve.
