Ingredients

For the Salad:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large avocado, diced

4 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, or romaine)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup cucumber, sliced

1/4 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese (optional)

For the Dressing:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice)

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Grill the Chicken:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Salad Ingredients:
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad ingredients. Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion and cucumber, and shred the carrots.

Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

Assemble the Salad Bowls:
Divide the mixed greens between two salad bowls. Top with the sliced grilled chicken, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Sprinkle with crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired.

Drizzle the Dressing:
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serve:
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the dressing separately if preparing in advance to keep the salad fresh.

Notes

For added crunch, you can top the salad with roasted nuts, seeds, or tortilla strips.

You can use any other grilled protein like shrimp or tofu for a variation.

To make the salad even more filling, add quinoa or brown rice on the side or mixed in.
