    It's a great way to use your leftover chicken and turn it into a delicious salad.

    Ingredients list

    Making salads excites me because I know I'm going to put so many nourishing ingredients in my body 😍. And this healthy chicken salad is no exception. 

    Green salad with chicken ingredients
    • Rocket
    • Alfalfa sprouts
    • Lebanese cucumber sliced
    • Green grapes halved (seedless grapes work best)
    • Avocado sliced
    • Chicken shredded or diced (you can use cooked leftover chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken) 
    • Pepitas

    Dressing

    • EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
    • Balsamic vinegar
    • Wholegrain or dijon mustard
    • Salt to taste

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Other leafy greens - instead of rocket, like romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, spinach, or watercress.
    • Grilled or poached chicken - instead of roast chicken.
    • Different nuts & seeds - like walnuts, pistachios, or sunflower seeds instead of pepitas.
    • Other fresh fruit - like pear, apple, or red grapes, instead of green grapes.
    • Add fresh herbs​ - like fresh dill or parsley.
    • Throw in more fresh vegetables - like some crisp celery sliced, green onion, red onion, or green bell peppers.
    • Get creative with the dressing - make it sweeter using this healthy honey mustard dressing, or substitute the balsamic vinegar for red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or fresh lemon juice.

    How to make this green salad with chicken

    This salad is super easy to make following some simple steps! I love using roast chicken because it saves the step of having to cook it, but you could use grilled chicken thighs or skinless chicken breasts, or even poached chicken instead!

    Lay all the ingredients in a large salad bowl, starting with the rocket, alfalfa, cucumber, and green grapes. Then add the sliced avocado, and roast chicken and spread the pepitas. Add the dressing and enjoy!

    Green salad with chicken

    Hint: I usually buy store-bought roast chicken because it's super convenient! Buy a quality free-range or organic one if possible. It's worth the extra few dollars!

    Storage

    Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    If you're preparing ahead or making a big batch to eat throughout the week, don't add the dressing until before you eat it, to avoid the rocket and alfalfa getting soggy. You can store the dressing in a small glass jar, and pour it before eating.

    Top tip

    Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or glass, and then pour over the salad! Avoid mixing them directly with the rest of the salad ingredients.
