Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Almond Crusted Goat Cheese

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the chopped almonds on a baking sheet and toast for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Form the goat cheese into small patties and press each patty into the toasted almonds to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, shredded carrots, sliced red onions, diced Roma tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers. Toss gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken and Goat Cheese

    Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and the almond crusted goat cheese patties.

  5. 5

    Serve with Dressing

    Drizzle with honey mustard dressing before serving.
