Directions
Slice hard cooked eggs and grape tomatoes in half. Cube chicken cutlets. Pit, peel and halve avocado(s); sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning (if using).
Arrange romaine lettuce on a large platter or shallow bowl.
Place cubed chicken on one end. Arrange grape tomatoes, avocado halves, and hard-cooked eggs in rows alongside. Season salad with freshly ground black pepper (if using to taste). Serve with Honey Lime Vinaigrette.
Honey Lime Vinaigrette: Whisk lime juice with vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and pepper until well blended; whisking drizzle in oil until combined. Makes about 1/2 cup/125 ml.
Tips
Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with cold water and set over high heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; add 1 tsp/5 ml baking soda (to make shells easier to peel). Cover pot and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and cool completely in ice water before peeling.
Leftover or deli-made grilled chicken makes a great shortcut option; or, to prepare fresh grilled chicken, double the vinaigrette recipe to use as a marinade. Season 4 thin chicken breast cutlets with salt, pepper and toss with 2 to 3 tbsp/30 to 45 ml of the vinaigrette. Grill over a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cooked through. (Reserve any extra vinaigrette for another use.)
Vinaigrette can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days; whisk to remix before serving.

Learn MoreTips: Hard Boiled
To hard cook, place cold eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of cold water over the top of the eggs. Cover saucepan and bring quickly to the boil over high heat. Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Let eggs stand in water for 18 to 23 minutes. Drain water and immediately run cold water over eggs until cooled. This helps to prevent a dark or greenish ring from forming around the yolk. Remove egg from shell.
