1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
5 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 ears corn, shucked
2 1/2-inch-thick slices about 1/2 of a medium red onion
Cooking spray
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 cups baby arugula
1 head Romaine lettuce, sliced into(1/2-inch-thick) strips
1 cup English cucumber, thinly sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 ripe avocado, cut into thin wedges
1/3 cup small basil leaves
