Do you prefer to “get your greens” in a Smoothie or in a Salad?
I’m a salad girl personally- I love the crunchy satisfaction of a hearty salad. For me, any time I add fruit to my salad it makes me look forward to lunchtime! This chicken-berry salad is one of my go-to because it comes together so quickly and is super tasty. You can make it even faster by pre-cooking the chicken or opting for a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
🥗 Chicken-Berry Salad
🔹 3 cups salad greens
🔹 ½ cup grape tomatoes
🔹 ½ cup chopped salad veggies, your choice: peppers, carrots, cucumber, zucchini, onions, etc.
🔹 1.5 tbsp olive oil
🔹 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
🔹 Salt and pepper to taste
🔹 3 oz grilled or roasted chicken, chopped
🔹 ¼ to ½ avocado, sliced
🔹 1 cup berries: sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, pomegranate seeds, whatever you like
🔹 2 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Wash salad greens and place in a big salad bowl. Add in the grape tomatoes, salad veggies and chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar and add in the salt and pepper to taste. Whisk again as you pour over the salad greens. Toss together to mix. Add the chicken, avocado, berries, pumpkin/sunflower seeds, and optional goat cheese and toss again. Serve and enjoy!
