Preparation of Ingredients

Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly under running water. Dry the lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes before chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Slice half an avocado and set aside. Hard-boil 2 eggs, allow them to cool, and then peel and quarter them. For the chicken, you can either cook a chicken breast until thoroughly done and slice it, or use a pre-cooked fried or breaded chicken cutlet, sliced into pieces.

Assembling the Salad

In a large salad bowl, lay down a bed of the chopped lettuce. Arrange the hard-boiled eggs, slices of chicken breast, avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes on top of the lettuce in neat rows or a circular pattern for visual appeal. If using, add the fried or breaded chicken cutlet slices as well. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the entire salad for a finishing touch.

Dressing (Optional)

While this salad is flavorful enough on its own, you can enhance it with your favorite dressing. A light vinaigrette or a creamy Caesar dressing works well, allowing the flavors of the fresh ingredients to shine through. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
