Chopped Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
I use marinated chicken breast here. You can also just add roast chicken, rotisserie chicken or any chicken breast you like! Don’t have chicken? Tuna, sliced deli turkey meat, or even salmon would work well here with the dressing I think!Prep time below does NOT include marinating time.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
For the Honey Mustard Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons good quality Dijon mustard*
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Chopped Salad:
- romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 to 3 handfuls fresh arugula
- 1 bell pepper (any color) cut into 4 pieces
- 1 cooked marinated chicken breast
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 2 to 3 slices crispy bacon torn or chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped pecans
Instructions
For the Honey Mustard Dressing:
- This dressing couldn’t be any easier to make! Combine/whisk all of the ingredients in a mason jar or small bowl. Taste and adjust anything as needed. Set aside and make salad.
For the Chopped Salad:
- How I pan fry my chicken: using a pan or skillet over medium high heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and place your marinated chicken breast in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 4 minutes. Chicken is done when it's no longer pink and registers 165°F as measured with a food thermometer. I think cooking with the lid on is key!
- For the chopped salad: using a large cutting board, place your chopped romaine lettuce down, add the fresh arugula on top and your bell pepper, chop again. Add your cooked marinated chicken breast and chop again. Add the tomato slices, avocado and crispy bacon and chop one last time. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Plate your salad in a bowl, garnish with the chopped pecans, add as little or as much of the dressing as you want and enjoy!
Notes
*I highly recommend a good quality Dijon mustard for this recipe. I like Grey Poupon and I have even used the Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce from Trader Joe's! This works well too! Do not use yellow mustard.
