Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp raw honey (melted (if solid))
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for the grill or pan)
- 8 cups chopped romaine (kale, or other greens, or a mix)
- 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 medium cucumber (peeled and sliced)
- 1 large avocado (thinly sliced)
- 8 slices bacon (cooked until crisp, and chopped or crumbled*)
- 6 hard boiled eggs (sliced**)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by whisking all ingredients together in a bowl, slowly adding the oil, or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Set aside or refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Season the chicken breasts with the combined salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium/medium-high heat and brush with oil. Grill chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and allow to rest on a cutting board.
- In a large serving bowl, layer the salad greens with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, bacon, and hardboiled eggs. Thinly slice the grilled chicken and add it on top. Drizzle the honey dijon dressing over the salad and toss gently, or serve it on the side.
Notes
Make the dressing in advance for quick assembly later.
This salad can be customized with your favorite greens or additional toppings like cheese or nuts.
For a vegetarian option, simply omit the chicken and bacon.
