This tasty salad is quick weeknight meal that takes little to no time to prepare and is a great way to add some color into your diet!
Equipment
- Grill (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 cups salad greens I prefer arugula or other bitter greens
- 1 orange
- 1 grapefruit
- 0.5 lb chicken breast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp pepitas
Instructions
- If grilling chicken breast, preheat your grill for about 10 minutes. It should reach the temperature of about 450°F.
- While grill is heating up, chop your salad greens.
- Peel your orange and grapefruit. Separate each piece of fruit and then chop into thirds, removing any seeds.
- Season your chicken breast with salt and pepper. Place on the grill for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- One chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and set aside to cool.
- Once chicken is cool enough, cut it into slices to top your salad.
- Add your pepitas on top of the salad, along with any vegan cheese you might be adding.
- Add in your olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss the salad to evenly distribute the dressing.
