No reviews

A hearty and delicious salad that satisfies hungry appetites. You can’t go wrong with a mix of tender greens and herbs along with some crunchy veggies and well seasoned cooked chicken, all tied together with a creamy and flavorful dressing.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

1/2 pound baby red-skinned potatoes

Kosher salt

2 Romaine hearts, chopped

2 cups arugula, chopped

23 Persian cucumbers, sliced

4 ribs of celery, trimmed and sliced

23 large radishes, halved from top to bottom and sliced thin

1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces

1 avocado, peeled and cut into small chunks

3/4 cup crunchy seasoned chickpeas

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing:

1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

4 scallions, coarsely chopped

3 large garlic cloves, peeled

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon ground cumin

kosher salt

coarsely ground black pepper

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan with a good amount of salt and cover with cold water by about 2-inches. Place over high and bring to a boil until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. When cool enough to handle cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  2. Meanwhile, place all of the dressing ingredients, except the olive oil, into blender or food processor. With the motor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the romaine, arugula, cucumbers, celery, radishes, bell pepper, avocado, chickpeas, chicken and potatoes to your salad bowl in layers. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the dressing and toss well to coat all of the ingredients. Serve immediately.

Notes

A major time saver and equally delicious would be to use already prepared rotisserie chicken. Just remove the skin and shred the chicken.

You could make the salad in advance, just don’t add the dressing until ready to serve.

There are no hard, fast rules for salad. If you prefer other vegetables use whatever you enjoy!
