Some people feel that salads are always just plain lettuce and some tomatoes. The reality is that are infinity ways to make a delicious and filling salad; keep reading to learn how to make this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 head of lettuce, small
- 1 head of purple lettuce, small
- 2 cups of seedless grapes, sliced
- 2 cups of cherry tomatoes
- 6 large mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup of almonds, sliced
- 2 tbsp of mustard
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cut your chicken breast in thin strips and season them with mustard, salt and pepper.
- Cook your chicken in a non-stick skillet to make the perfect grilled chicken. When ready, set aside.
- In a large bowl, place both of the lettuces and add 2 cups of water and some white vinegar to clean them. Soak them for 5 minutes and then rinse them with more water; drain them to assemble the salad. I recommend washing your lettuce regardless of where you bought it.
- Assemble your salad with a bed of lettuce, slices mushrooms, sliced grapes, cherry tomatoes, chicken and almonds! A little tip to make the salad extra crunchy is to toast the almonds before adding them. Bake them at 180 degrees C. for about 5-10 minutes or until brown ish. Let them cool down before adding them to the salad.
- Serve as a main meal or side dish!

- 2/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinager
- 1 tsp of honey
