Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

I'm a nerd...I watch Everyday Food on PBS. This one comes from them and I really like it. I really like that you toss the lettuce with the dressing before you assemble the salad instead of pouring the dressing on top.

ingredients:
6 slices bacon, cut into pieces
1 medium head romaine lettuce, cut
2 to 3 Tablespoons vinaigrette (see below)
Garlic Marinated Chicken Cutlets, thinly sliced crosswise (see below)
Feta cheese, crumbled
2 plum tomatoes, cut
1 avocado, sliced
Salt and Pepper
-Cook bacon
-In a large bowl toss lettuce with vinaigrette. Place lettuce on platter and arrange ingredients on top. Season with salt and pepper.

Garlic-Marinated Chicken Cutlets:
2 T olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 T fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
chicken cutlets
-Whisk together, add chicken and marinate 10 minutes at room temp.
-Lift chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through.

Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 tsp honey
1/2 cup olive oil
salt
pepper
- shake together

Yum!
