Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Crunchy Vegetables
Grilled chicken breast tossed with fluffy quinoa and vibrant raw vegetables in a zesty lemon vinaigrette, finished with a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup Sliced Cucumber
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Toasted Sunflower Seeds
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for five minutes to retain its juices before slicing it into thin, bite-sized strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pre-cooked quinoa with the diced red bell peppers and sliced cucumbers.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice until emulsified.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the quinoa and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Add the sliced grilled chicken to the bowl and give it one final toss.
Transfer the salad to a plate and garnish with the toasted sunflower seeds for an added crunch.
