Ingredients
For the dressing/marinade:
- 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh dill weed
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
For the salad:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head romaine roughly chopped
- 1/2 red onion chopped or sliced
- 1 avocado halved, seeded, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries quartered
- 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
- Mix all the dressing/marinade ingredients to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Season the chicken breast with some salt and pepper. Place it into a ziplock bag or an air-tight container and pour over 1/3 of the prepared marinade. Let it marinate in refrigerator at least an hour. Keep the remaining 2/3 of the dressing marinate in a separate container without touching the raw meat.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce and onion. Peel and slice avocado cut the strawberries into halves.
- Next, brush the grill or a heavy-bottomed pan with avocado oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the marinated chicken onto the preheated grill and grill until each side is nicely golden brown and marks appear, about 10-12 minutes or internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
- Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove from the grill and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice into 1-inch pieces.
- For assembling, place the chopped lettuce and onion into a salad bowl. Add avocados and strawberries. Place the sliced chicken on top of the veggies.
- Drizzle with the reserved dressing/marinade on top and garnish with shaved parmesan.
