Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Rotisserie chicken (shredded, skin removed)
  • 3 cups Mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula)
  • 1 Avocado (sliced)
  • ½ cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • ¼ cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced)
  • Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife & cutting board
  • Skillet (optional, for warming chicken)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, shredded rotisserie chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado slices.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the bowl and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor.
  5. Serve immediately. Optionally, warm the chicken in a skillet before adding if desired.

Notes

  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store dressing separately and assemble just before eating to keep greens crisp.
  • Variations: Add quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, or feta cheese for extra texture and flavor.
  • Dietary Adjustments: For a dairy-free option, skip cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
