Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Salad

Hey there! Want a quick, tasty, and healthy meal? Check out this Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Salad. It’s perfect for a nutritious lunch or a light dinner. And if you’re not a fan of chicken, no worries – just swap it with tofu. It’s equally delicious!

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts (or a block of tofu – about 400g/14 oz)

• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, plus a bit more for grilling

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Mixed salad greens (about 6 cups/150g)

• 1 cup (about 150g) cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 cucumber, sliced

• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

• 1 avocado, sliced

For the dressing:

• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh chopped herbs (like parsley or basil)

• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Get your grill ready on a medium-high heat. Brush your chicken or tofu with some olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill. Chicken needs about 6-8 minutes on each side, while tofu needs about 3-4 minutes per side. Let them cool a bit before slicing.
In a large bowl, toss together the greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and avocado.
For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey, herbs, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the grilled chicken or tofu to your salad, pour over the dressing, and give it a good toss.

And there you have it – a fresh and tasty salad, perfect for any day of the week!
