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)

- 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 the honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and avocado oil in a bowl, or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture. Set it aside or refrigerate for later use.
- Season the chicken with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Preheat the grill to medium/medium-high heat and brush with avocado oil.
- Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill and set aside on a cutting board.
- In a large serving bowl, layer the chopped greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
- Slice the grilled chicken and layer it into the salad as desired. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a creamier dressing, blend longer with an immersion blender.
