2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper

For the Salad

6 cups chopped romaine lettuce rinsed and dried, or any greens work

Instructions

Place a bed of lettuce on a white serving platter. Then top with rows of chicken, bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and blue cheese.
Garnish with chives and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Make the dressing: Place all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. Set aside.
Drizzle some dressing over salad just before serving and allow people to add more, if they like.
