Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
1 large apple (cored and sliced, e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
4 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, kale, arugula)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat grill or pan to medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked; let rest, then slice.
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Whisk olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt for the dressing.
Toss mixed greens with half the dressing in a large bowl.
Top with apple slices, chicken, feta, and toasted pecans. Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad before serving.
Notes
For extra crispness, use a sturdy green like kale and store the dressing separately until ready to serve.
Substitute feta with halal-certified cheese if needed.
Chicken can be swapped for halal-certified turkey or tofu.
Prep ahead: Store components in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days.
