Equipment

  • 1 large salad bowl
  • 1 electric or gas grill
  • 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables and meat
  • 1 sauce pan with lid to boil eggs
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

SALAD:

  • 5 oz. container spring mix
  • 5 oz. container spinach
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 4 green onions sliced thinly
  • 6 oz. blueberries
  • 8 oz. strawberries sliced
  • 6 oz. blackberries
  • 6 oz. bag Swiss cheese shredded
  • 2 chicken breasts grilled
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs quartered
  • 1 tsp. Italian Herb Seasoning grinder

HEALTHY HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

  • 8 oz. vanilla Greek yogurt or substitute Icelandic yogurt or Just Mayo mayonnaise
  • 2 oz. buttermilk
  • 2 oz. dijon mustard or any spicy brown mustard will work
  • 4 oz. honey

Instructions
 

SALAD:

  • Grind Italian Herb Seasoning overtop of both sides of the chicken and grill over high heat until done—about 10 minutes per side depending on the intensity of the heat. (Mine actually took about 30 minutes).
  • Cool about 5 minutes and slice down in thin strips. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, as chicken is grilling, layer spring mix, spinach, celery, bell pepper, green onions, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and Swiss cheese in large salad bowl.
  • Place hard-boiled eggs around the border.
  • Place chicken on top or toss and serve the salad and garnish with chicken slices.
  • Pour Honey Mustard Dressing over top, as desired.

HEALTHY HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING:

  • Whisk ingredients to combine and serve with salad.

Notes

NOTE: If you prefer more meat on your salad, grill 4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead.
 
 
NOTE: The original recipe called for a salad dressing like Miracle Whip or cole slaw dressing for the Greek yogurt in the recipe. This recipe works excellently with Miracle Whip, also.
 
 
NOTE: Just So mayonnaise will give the dressing a little thicker and nicer texture than Greek yogurt, but it wasn't available when I first published this recipe. It's also made without all the preservatives or HFCS that most commercial mayonnaise or Miracle Whip products use.
