Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 10 ounces kale (I like Tuscan kale)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 large avocado , diced
  • 2 large tomatoes , diced
  • 8 strips of bacon
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese ( or feta)

For the dressing:

  • 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 5 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Make the hardboiled eggs. Cook 4 eggs in boiling water for 20 minutes. Set aside. Once cool, peel them.
  • Cook the bacon in the microwave. Cover a microwave safe plate with paper towels, put the bacon on the plate and cover in paper towels. Cook for 6-8 minutes. Once cooled, crumble up the bacon.
  • Cook the chicken. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice to a frying pan. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping every so often. Cook until cooked through then dice the chicken.
  • Make the dressing. Mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper together and mix until thickened.
  • Put the kale into a large bowl, and add 3/4 of the balsamic vinaigrette to the bowl. Mix well or massage into the kale.
  • Put the kale salad into each individual plate. Top each plate with one hard boiled egg cut into pieces, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, crumbled up bacon, and crumbled blue cheese or feta. Sprinkle each plate with a little more dressing.

Notes

  • Instead of kale, you can use spinach or mixed greens.
  • Instead of blue cheese, you can use crumbled feta cheese.
  • You can omit any ingredient that you do not like.
  • You can add other vegetables of choice, like cucumbers or shredded carrots.
