Ingredients
For the honey mustard dressing/marinade:
¼ cup olive oil*
¼ cup honey
¼ cup smooth dijon mustard**
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
⅛ tsp salt
Cracked black pepepr, to taste
For the cobb salad:
1 lb. chicken tenders
6-8 cups romaine or green leaf lettuce, chopped
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked & chopped or cumbled
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled & sliced
¾ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
1-2 avocados, diced
¼-½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
To make the dressing/marinade:
1. Whisk your olive oil, honey, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and salt together until smooth.
Then add your cracked black pepper to taste, cover and set it aside.
To make the salad:
1. Marinate your chicken. Place your chicken tenders in a plastic bag or bowl and toss them in a
¼ cup of your dressing. Then let your chicken marinate for 30 minutes - 2 hours.
2. Bake. When your chicken is done marinating, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and spray a
baking dish with cooking spray.
Add your chicken tenders to the dish and season them with salt, black pepper and paprika (if
desired). Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes (or until your chicken reaches
an internal temperature of 165 degrees).
Let them cool completely before cutting them into bite sized pieces.
3. Assemble your salad. Add your lettuce, diced chicken, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, avocado
and bacon to a large bowl and toss in your desired amount of dressing.
4. Serve! Sprinkle your feta cheese over the top and serve immediately.

*We always use Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil for our dressings.
**We use a combo of smooth dijon mustard + whole grain mustard for our salad dressing. Here
are 2 ways you can make this combo:
2 Tbsp smooth dijon mustard + 2 Tbsp whole grain mustard
3 Tbsp smooth dijon mustard + 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard (*My favorite!)
