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
  • 34 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

  1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice or vinegar, and avocado oil. Use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency, and set aside or refrigerate.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with a mixture of sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium/medium-high heat and brush with avocado oil.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and an internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.
  4. In a large serving bowl, layer the chopped greens, followed by cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken and layer it on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently, and enjoy.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, make sure to use compatible bacon and eggs.
You can substitute the chicken with grilled tofu for a vegetarian version.
For extra crunch, add some nuts or seeds on top.
