Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice 180 grams grilled chicken into thin strips and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until emulsified and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Place 100 grams mixed greens in a bowl, add 1/2 sliced cucumber and 80 grams cherry tomatoes, then drizzle with 3/4 of the vinaigrette and toss gently until coated.
  4. Step 4: Top with sliced chicken strips and remaining vinaigrette, ensuring every piece is lightly dressed and flavors are balanced.
  5. Step 5: Let sit for 2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and greens to soften slightly.
