Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking the honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and avocado oil in a bowl until combined, or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture. Set aside or refrigerate.
Season the chicken breasts with the combined sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the grill or a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat and brush with avocado oil.
Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest before slicing.
In a large bowl, layer the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, cucumber, avocado, cooked bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. Add the sliced chicken on top when ready to serve. Drizzle with honey dijon dressing, toss, or serve the dressing on the side.

Notes

For a spicier dressing, add a touch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Use a mix of greens for added flavor and texture.
Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
