- 1 tbsp of pepitas
Dressing
- 2 tbsp of EVOO
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp wholegrain or dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Lay all the ingredients in a large salad bowl, starting with the rocket, alfalfa, cucumber, and grapes.
- Then add the sliced avocado, and roast chicken and spread the pepitas.
- Prepare the dressing in a small bowl or glass, and pour over the salad.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I love using roast chicken because it saves the step of having to cook it, but you could use grilled or poached chicken instead!
- 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.
- You can substitute the rocket for other leafy greens like romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, spinach, or watercress.
- 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.
