Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice or vinegar, and avocado oil until combined. Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smoother dressing.
Season the chicken with a blend of sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat the grill or grill pan to medium/medium-high and brush with avocado oil. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Set aside to rest.
In a large serving bowl, layer the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado, crumbled bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.
Slice the grilled chicken and distribute it over the salad. Drizzle with the prepared dressing, toss gently, or serve the dressing on the side.

Notes

For an even fresher taste, allow the dressing to chill for about 30 minutes before serving.
This salad can be made ahead of time, but add the avocado and dressing just before serving to keep it fresh.
Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite vegetables or proteins.
