Notes

- To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or rotisserie chicken.
- Make the salad vegetarian by omitting the bacon or using a plant-based bacon alternative.
- Adjust the vinaigrette dressing according to your taste preferences. A balsamic or ranch dressing also complements this salad beautifully.
- Prepare the hard-boiled eggs in advance to streamline the salad assembly process.
- This salad is perfect for meal prep. Keep the ingredients separate until you're ready to enjoy, and it will stay fresh for several days in the refrigerator.
