Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 cups Honeydew melon, cubed
- 1.5 cups Seedless green grapes, halved
- 1 cup Celery, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Slivered almonds, toasted
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook them in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Place the cubed honeydew melon, halved grapes, sliced celery, and toasted slivered almonds into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked chicken to the mixing bowl with the fruits and vegetables. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Arrange the mixed salad greens on a large platter or individual serving plates.
Spoon the chicken and fruit mixture over the salad greens, dividing evenly between servings.
Serve immediately for a crisp and refreshing salad experience. Optionally, garnish with additional almonds or fresh herbs like parsley.
