Ingredients
Marinade/Dressing-
½ cup honey
5 tablespoons whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Pinch of garlic powder
4–6 Chicken breasts, depending on how big and how many people you want to feed.
For Salad-
Mixed greens
Corn
Chopped cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Sunflower seeds
Sliced avocado
Crumbled bacon
Instructions
Marinade/Dressing-
Whisk together all ingredients till well incorporated. Add ½ a cup of dressing to a Ziploc bag and put 4-6 chicken breasts in to marinate at least 30 minutes up to as long as you’d like. I try to let it marinade at least 2 hours but it still tastes great if you don’t have that much time. Keep the rest of the dressing in the fridge, covered, till ready to use.
I prefer to grill this chicken. If you bake it, make sure to line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray so it doesn’t stick. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken breasts.
Assembly-
Put a handful of greens in a bowl and top with chicken and other desired toppings. My favorites for this salad are corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, and sunflower seeds. Spoon dressing over top of salad and enjoy.
Notes
I think I enjoy this salad just as much as leftovers as I do freshly made!
