Chicken And Leafy Greens Salad With Lentils Recipe

Salad Preparation

1. Begin by preparing the chicken. You can either grill, bake, or poach approximately 100 grams of chicken until fully cooked, then slice or dice it into bite-sized pieces. 2. While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry a mix of leafy greens and shredded cabbage, amounting to roughly 50-100 grams of greens and 50 grams of cabbage. Set aside. 3. Prepare 50 grams of cooked lentils. You can use canned lentils for convenience, just make sure to rinse and drain them well. 4. For the dressing, whisk together your choice of oil or vinaigrette. Customize it with your preferred herbs and spices for added flavor. 5. Combine the chicken, leafy greens, cabbage, and lentils in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat everything evenly. 6. Serve the salad fresh for the best taste and texture. Optionally, you can add toppings like nuts, seeds, or cheese for added flavor and texture, but note that this will alter the nutritional content.
