Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 pieces Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds until golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the curry vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, curry powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
To assemble the salad, add the sliced chicken and toasted almonds to the bowl with the romaine lettuce.
Drizzle the curry vinaigrette over the salad, and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
