👩🍳 What Sets It Apart?
✅ Protein-packed – so it doesn’t feel like “rabbit food”
✅ Crunchy + creamy – a texture combo that keeps every bite interesting
✅ Savory + sweet – a touch of honey in the dressing balances the saltiness
✅ Customizable – great with whatever’s in season or your pantry
And bonus: it’s just as good the next day for lunch (if there’s any left).
🥄 Simple Steps to Make It:
- Grill or pan-sear your protein of choice.
- In a large bowl, toss your greens, veggies, cheese, and nuts.
- Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
- Top with warm grilled chicken (or roasted chickpeas).
- Serve fresh — and watch it disappear.
