1 cup cucumber, sliced
1 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced
4 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
1 avocado, diced

Wash vegetables thoroughly and chop mixed greens into bite-sized pieces. Halve cherry tomatoes and slice cucumber.
Season chicken breast with salt and pepper; grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy (about 5-6 minutes). Drain on paper towels and chop.
Boil eggs in cold water; once boiling, cover and turn off heat for 10-12 minutes. Cool in ice water before peeling.
Whisk together olive oil (3 tbsp), Dijon mustard (2 tbsp), vinegar (1 tbsp), salt (to taste), and pepper (to taste) in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a container or lunch box, layer mixed greens at the bottom followed by chicken slices, bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, avocado chunks, egg wedges, and feta cheese.
