  • 1/2 cup green and black olives
  • 2 cups fresh lettuce or mixed greens
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp honey (optional)

Equipment

  • large bowl or plate
  • small bowl or jar
  • whisk or fork
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grill pan or skillet (if cooking chicken fresh)
  • small pot (if boiling eggs fresh)

Method
 

  1. Ensure chicken is cooked and sliced, and eggs are boiled and halved. Wash and slice vegetables.
  2. Arrange lettuce or mixed greens as the base in a large bowl or plate.
  3. Add grilled chicken, eggs, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives on top of the greens.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth and emulsified.
  5. Drizzle dressing over the salad. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, season the chicken well and use ripe avocado. To meal-prep, store components separately and add avocado and dressing just before eating. This salad is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegetarian by swapping chicken for chickpeas or tofu.
