This Winter Spa Salad With Lemon Chicken Makes For A Fantastic Lunch And That Secret Ingredient Really Took The Flavor Up A Notch!

This great salad recipe makes enough for about four servings but if you want more, just double the ingredients. The chicken has to marinate for at least thirty minutes and up to two hours and then it only takes a few minutes to put everything together. You'll want to dig right in!

Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

Salad:
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cara cara oranges
1 avocado
½ cup pomegranate arils
2 cups spinach,
1 can chickpeas
1 shallot,
a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or mint
Chicken Marinade:
⅓ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
juice of one half of a lemon
½ teaspoon salt
 Dressing:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1-2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or other grainy mustard
salt, pepper, and/or honey to taste

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Whisk marinade ingredients together. Place in a bowl with the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (while prepping other stuff) or as long as 2 hours.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Heat the oil in a pan or pre-heat a griddle. Discard extra marinade from chicken and grill the chicken pieces until cooked through. Let stand for a few minutes to cool before cutting.
Toss all other salad ingredients, including chicken, together with the dressing! Season with additional salt and pepper and maybe a drizzle of good olive oil.
NOTES
The dressing, especially if you use the Greek yogurt, can be really tangy. You can offset this by using less vinegar or mustard or adding more sweetness with honey to taste.

Enjoy!
