- -------------------------
- Honey Lime Vinaigrette:
- 2 tbsp / 30 ml
- fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp / 30 ml
- white balsamic or white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp / 15 ml
- liquid honey
- 1 clove
- garlic, grated
- 1/4 tsp
- each salt and pepper

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.
