Grilled Chicken Salad with Quinoa and Crunchy Vegetables
A vibrant bowl of grilled chicken and fluffy quinoa tossed with crisp cucumbers and peppers in a zesty lemon vinaigrette, finished with toasted sunflower seeds.
INGREDIENTS
1.7 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tablespoon Sunflower Seeds
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Chopped Cucumber
1/4 cup Chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Shredded Carrots
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside to cool completely.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, then grill over medium heat until fully cooked.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Dice the cucumber and red bell pepper into small cubes and shred the carrots.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create the dressing.
Combine the cooled quinoa, chopped vegetables, and grilled chicken in a large salad bowl.
Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Top the salad with sunflower seeds for a satisfying toasted crunch just before serving.
