Instructions:
step 1 Arrange a bed of chopped lettuce in a large bowl or container.
step 2 Evenly layer the fried chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and shredded cheese over the greens.
step 3 Add the black olives, red onion, diced tomatoes, and cucumber slices on top.
step 4 Scatter the banana peppers and jalapeños around the bowl.
step 5 Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
step 6 Drizzle your favorite dressing over the salad just before serving or keep it on the side for dipping.
Storage and Reheating Tips:
Store the salad (without dressing) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep dressing in a separate container to avoid sogginess. If using fresh fried chicken, reheat it separately in an air fryer or oven for best texture before adding to the salad.
