INGREDIENTS
2 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1/2 medium Carrot
1/4 medium Red Onion
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the grilled chicken by seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. If not pre-cooked, grill 2 oz of chicken breast over medium heat until fully cooked.
Cook the quinoa as per package instructions, then measure out 1/4 cup of the cooked quinoa once cooled.
Chop the vegetables: dice the cucumber, slice the red bell pepper into halves, shred the carrot, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, chopped vegetables, and grilled chicken sliced into strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled, refreshing lunch.
