Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad:
- 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 cups mixed greens (e.g., romaine, arugula, baby spinach)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup dairy-free blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for grilling
For the Honey Dijon Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for strict paleo)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, hard-boiled eggs, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled bacon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the Honey Dijon Dressing until smooth and creamy.
- Add the grilled chicken slices to the salad and drizzle with the dressing. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately, topped with crumbled dairy-free blue cheese if desired.
Notes
- Tips: Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve nice grill marks on the chicken.
- Storage: For best results, store the salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this salad with a refreshing iced tea or a light sparkling water with lemon.
