Ingredients
  

Poppyseed Dressing:
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons plain greek yogurt OR plain/unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice concentrate
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon poppyseeds
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper
Salad:
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries quartered
  • 1 avocado cubed
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup red onion sliced

Method
 

  1. Combine the poppyseed dressing ingredients in a mason jar, cover tightly, and shake, or whisk them together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium heat (approximately 400°F) and clean the grates. Season two boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  3. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Dice the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Divide the salad ingredients and cubed chicken between two large salad bowls.
  5. Drizzle each salad with poppyseed dressing and serve with grilled bread.

Notes

  • Chicken Marinade: Add more flavor to the chicken breasts by using the best chicken marinade!
  • Dairy-Free: simply use the dairy-free version of the poppyseed dressing.
  • Gluten-Free: serve with a gluten-free grilled bread or omit the bread.
  • Meatless: feel free to omit the chicken for a meatless meal!
  • Storage: Leftovers can easily be stored in the fridge to enjoy another day. Just make sure you keep some things in separate containers. You will want a container for the chicken, another one for the fresh fruit, one for lettuce, and one more for the dressing. This will help keep things fresh and then when you are ready for another yummy salad just toss all the pieces together again.
