Ingredients
Scale

- 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 med 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 together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), avocado oil, and sea salt in a bowl or using an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Refrigerate until needed.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken.
- Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with avocado oil.
- Grill the seasoned chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and allow to rest.
- In a large serving bowl, layer your chopped greens with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
- Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the salad. Drizzle with the dressing before serving, or serve it on the side.
Notes
For a thicker dressing, use an immersion blender.
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before removing from heat.
Feel free to substitute greens based on preference or seasonal availability.
