In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill the dressing in the refrigerator while preparing the salad.
On a large platter or in a salad bowl, arrange the chopped romaine lettuce as the base. Evenly distribute the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, quartered eggs, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and blue cheese crumbles over the lettuce.
Drizzle the chilled ranch dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine, or serve with the dressing on the side for individual servings. Enjoy immediately.
