Paleo Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

I am a food enthusiast living in Northeastern Ohio. Having lived in several states, before landing in Ohio, I have experienced many different food cultures. My belief is that food nourishes our bodies, hearts and minds. Food brings people together, there is nothing better than enjoying a good meal with family and friends. That being said, I have stacks of recipes from over the decades in 3-ring binders, old cookbooks and digital recipes on my computer. My original thought was to catalog all of them on my computer and get rid of the binders and such. My next thought was to share them. If they are on this website, they were worth sharing I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! (I will try my best to credit the original creator/author of the recipe if I can).

Ingredients:

4 medium chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
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

Directions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then 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, toss 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.
