Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and black pepper.

While the chicken cools, prepare the salad by combining the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and diced avocado in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
