👩‍🍳 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:

  1. Grill or pan-sear your protein of choice.
  2. In a large bowl, toss your greens, veggies, cheese, and nuts.
  3. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
  4. Top with warm grilled chicken (or roasted chickpeas).
  5. Serve fresh — and watch it disappear.

💬 Real Talk: Even the Pickiest Eaters Say “Wow”

I don’t know if it’s the balance of flavors or the satisfying crunch, but this salad is a crowd-pleaser, even among people who think they don’t like salads. My husband now calls it “the good one” — which, coming from him, is high praise.
