This healthier version of a traditional Cobb Salad omits the bacon to decrease saturated fat and sodium but keeps the flavor and nutritional value high from lean protein, crisp vegetables, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat from avocado.

2 hardboiled eggs, cut in half
1 avocado, sliced
12 grape tomatoes, cut in half

4 cups chopped lettuce or assorted dark leafy greens
Salt and pepper to taste

- Grill chicken on both sides until internal temperature reaches 165°.
