Make layers in a trifle bowl or large glass bowl starting with lettuce, then red bell pepper, cucumber, half the cheddar cheese, the chicken, corn, red onion, and avocado.
Spread the dressing on top of the avocado layer.
Sprinkle on the remaining cheddar cheese
Pile the bacon on top and surround with egg slices.
Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Note: Only place about 2/3 of the lettuce on the bottom. Use the remaining to fill in the middle when you have an ingredient that won't show on the outside if you scatter it evenly across. Make a ring of the ingredient around the edge and fill the middle with lettuce.I sometimes do a layer of salad dressing on top of the cucumber layer. If making more than 2 hours in advance, wait to add the avocado just before serving.
