Instructions
Make at Home
Dice the cooked chicken and store it in an airtight container in the cooler.
Cook the bacon. Let it cool and then chop it into smaller pieces and store it in an airtight container in the cooler.
Cook the hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool in cold water and then store them in an airtight container in the cooler. I prefer to leave the shells on so that I can peel and slice them at camp to keep them fresh.
Clean the lettuce and chop it into thin strips. Store it in an airtight container in the cooler away from direct ice where it might freeze.
Pack all the other ingredients.
At Camp
Begin by filling a large bowl with the lettuce.
Prepare the rest of the ingredients - cut the avocado into cubes, slice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the chives, and slice the hard-boiled eggs.
Assemble all the toppings on the lettuce in neat rows. Top with the salad dressing and give everything a good mix. Serve and enjoy!
