Here’s one of our favorite salads we have on repeat from Spring until Fall!
Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast
Ingredients:
1 Pack Grass Powered Boneless Chicken Breast or Thighs
1/4 Cup Olive Oil + Your Favorite Seasoning Blend
OR I often use a mix similar to
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 Tbsp Dos Soles Sea Salt
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder OR 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1 tsp paprika
A few tablespoons of coconut aminos also add amazing flavor!
Marinate thawed chicken breasts in the marinade for at least 30 minutes. Grill to 165 degrees internal temperature. Not too much more or they’ll dry out.
Homemade Salad Dressing
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 to 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp Mustard
1 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
Generous pinches salt and black pepper
I typically eyeball these amounts and mix in a mason jar so I can shake it up and store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Swap the balsamic for other vinegars, change up the seasonings, this dressing is very versatile!
And to make the salad, go for local salad greens if you can find them. They are SO MUCH BETTER than what you find in the grocery store. If you’re local, we love Way Farms and Grahams Greens salad mix!
I also like to add Sierra Nevada feta cheese, shredded white cheddar or parmesan, and any other seasonal veggies like green onions and radishes and even hard boiled eggs to add some protein.
Salads don’t have to be boring!
