GRILLED CHICKEN AND MIXED GREENS SALAD



Grilled Chicken and Mixed Greens Salad image

A refreshing and nutritious go-to summer salad with mixed greens, toppings and grilled chicken with balsamic dressing.

Provided by Kristina Jug

Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups fresh mixed greens (various types of lettuce)
1 cucumber
1 bell pepper
3 cherry tomatoes
1 carrot
1 tbs canned corn
50 g grilled chicken (breasts / file)
parmesan
1 slice stale bread
balsamic vinegar
olive oil
lemon
salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

  • First things first. If you are not using a pre-grilled chicked file, then first season your chicken and put it in a hot pan to grill on both sides for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, then cut into smaller bites.
  • Cut the stale bread slice into cubes and put into the pan to toast for a couple of minutes. When toasted, set aside to cool.
  • Wash and drain the mixed greens. Use any kind of lettuce you like, or a mixture of it.
  • Peel and slice the cucumber. Wash and slice your bell pepper (I had a light-green variety in my garden). Peel the carrot and cut into thin slices (or grate it). Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
  • For the dressing, pour in a bowl or small jar olive oil and balsamic vinegar (1:3 ratio), add a squeeze of lemon juice or water, a small pinch of salt and some pepper. Mix well with a whisk or shake in a jar until well combined.
  • Assemble your salad. In a bowl, place your washed salad greens, cucumber and bell pepper slices, halved cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and a tablespoon of canned corn. Add chicken bites and bread crutons.
  • Top the salad with some shaved parmesan cheese and the balsamic dressing.
