Equipment

  • salad bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 5 ounces mixed greens
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts thinly sliced, see note
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • ¾ cup freshly diced tomatoes
  • ¾ cup diced english cucumber
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds
  • ⅓ cup scratch made honey mustard see recipe

For the honey mustard:

  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard or mustard of choice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • ½ tablespoon lemon Juice
  • pinch kosher Salt

Instructions
 

For the honey mustard dressing:

  • Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk to incorporate. Set aside.

For the Salad:

  • Divide the ingredients for the salad between two large salad bowls. You can adjust the amounts as you see fit!
  • Drizzle some honey mustard on each salad and toss to combine. You don't have to use all of it. Transfer leftover salad dressing to a jar with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Note: If you don't want to grill up chicken breasts, you can use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store! Just pull the white meat from it and add it to the salads.
