Honey Mustard Seed Dressing Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let cool before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, corn, edamame, chopped tomato, sliced cucumber, and shredded muenster cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

    Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot covered with water, bringing it to a boil, then covering and letting sit for 9-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer to an ice bath, peel, and chop.

  5. 5

    Combine All Ingredients

    Add the sliced grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the honey mustard seed dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing.
