Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced

  • 4 cups mixed baby greens

  • Vinaigrette:

    • Juice of 2 limes

    • 2 tbsp honey

    • 3 tbsp olive oil

    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Season breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat 6–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

  2. Whisk Vinaigrette: In a jar, combine lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Shake vigorously until emulsified.

  3. Build Salad: In a large bowl, layer greens, tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Top with sliced chicken and feta.

  4. Dress & Toss: Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss gently to coat evenly.

Expert Notes:

  • Ripeness Matters: For creamy texture, choose avocado that yields slightly under gentle pressure.

  • Prep Ahead: Vinaigrette can be made 24 hours in advance; store in refrigerator.

  • Flavor Boost: Add fresh mint or basil for a herbal twist.
