Scale
  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Pink Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 6 Leaves Romaine Lettuce

  • 1/2 Cup Raw Pecan Halves
  • 3 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Pink Sea Salt
  • 2 tsp Poppy Seeds

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Start by marinating your chicken breasts. In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, pink sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Immerse the chicken in this mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the Grill: Fire up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Watch the chicken closely to avoid sticking.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on it. Grill them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling.
  4. Chop the Salad Ingredients: Wash and dry your romaine leaves, tearing them into pieces. Slice the strawberries, peel and segment the mandarins, and toss in the blueberries and pineapple.
  5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, pink sea salt, and poppy seeds until well combined.
  6. Assemble the Salad: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and add to the salad mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss.
  7. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle extra pecan halves on top and serve. Enjoy this fresh salad with loved ones!

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute chicken with marinated and grilled tofu. Adjust the fruit based on seasonal availability.
