Method
Salad Preparation
- 1
Cook the Chicken
Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Once done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the chicken is cooking, wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and dry them. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut it into slices. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and peel and slice the cucumber.

Assemble the Salad
In a large salad bowl, combine the grilled chicken, spinach leaves, avocado slices, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, sliced cucumber, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

Dress the Salad
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the assembled salad just before serving. Toss the salad lightly to coat the ingredients with the dressing.
