1.

Lay your lettuce leaves on a large oval platter or a large, rimmed jelly roll pan. The platter I used in the photos is about 14" x 18", but I've also made this salad on a 12" x 17" jelly roll pan. Get Recipe

2.

As you layer on your lettuce, sprinkle a little of the chicken, avocado, eggs, bacon, and red onion throughout the layers, making sure you have plenty left to sprinkle on top. Get Recipe

Place the tomato halves, cut-side down on top of the salad positioned to resemble ornaments.

Tip

You can completely assemble the salad (except the avocado) earlier in the day, or the night before. Get Recipe
