Method
Preparation of Base Greens
Wash & Prepare Greens
Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce and spinach under cold running water. Pat dry using a salad spinner or paper towels. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Preparation of Vegetables
Chop Vegetables
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, chop the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and grate or julienne the carrots. Add all the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the base greens.
Preparation of Proteins
Prepare Proteins
If using grilled chicken, slice it into strips or cubes. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. Crumble the feta cheese. Add the proteins to the salad bowl.
Making the Dressing
Mix Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assembling the Salad
Combine Everything
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Adding Toppings
Final Touch
Slice the avocado and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle croutons and pumpkin seeds over the salad for added crunch.
