Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prep the Vegetables

    Wash the mixed greens thoroughly. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and dice the avocado.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and feta cheese. Add the grilled chicken on top.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the dressing coats evenly.

  3. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, or grilled shrimp to the salad for extra flavor and nutrition.
