  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base

  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 ripe but firm avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber slices

Protein

  • 1 grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced

Cheese

  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or basil), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl as the fresh, vibrant base of your salad.
  2. Add Vegetables and Protein: Slice the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Arrange these on top of the greens, then add thin slices of grilled chicken breast evenly over the salad.
  3. Crumble the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese over the salad to add a salty and tangy contrast to the vegetables and protein.
  4. Drizzle the Dressing and Toss: Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the lemon vinaigrette. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly without bruising the delicate greens and vegetables.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or basil for aroma and color. Serve immediately while the salad is crisp and vibrant.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality produce for the best flavor and texture.
  • Add dressing gradually to avoid soggy greens and achieve balanced flavors.
  • Cook chicken breasts with light seasoning on medium heat until juicy and tender.
  • Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure creamy texture without mushiness.
  • Toss salad gently to combine ingredients without crushing delicate greens and veggies.
