Ingredients

For the Salad:

4 medium chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
8 cups mixed greens (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
1/4 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 a large cast-iron grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium-high heat.
Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Arrange mixed greens on a large platter or in individual bowls.
Top with grilled chicken slices, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Sprinkle dairy-free blue cheese if using.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving.

Notes

Can prep the salad ingredients ahead and store separately in the fridge for easy meal prep.
Substitute chicken with grilled shrimp or steak for variety.
Adjust honey in the dressing to taste for sweetness preference.
